What happened: Green Bay acquired Parsons in August 2025 for a package that included two first-round picks. He led the Packers with 12.5 sacks across 14 games in his first season.
Why it matters: Parsons underwent reconstructive ACL surgery on Dec. 29 after his season-ending injury. Green Bay has expected him to begin the 2026 season on the physically unable to perform list.
By the numbers: Parsons recorded 83 pressures, 26 quarterback hits and 41 tackles in 2025. His 12.5 sacks led Green Bay despite his three-game absence to close the regular season.
What to watch: His placement on the opening roster will determine whether he must miss at least four games.
