Even before Green Bay acquired Micah Parsons in late August, the Packers considered themselves prime Super Bowl contenders. They face the unwanted challenge of proving their worth without their superstar pass rusher.

The Rams face the Seahawks on Thursday in Seattle and the winner of that game will be in the driver's seat for the top seed in the NFC. The Rams may have beaten the Seahawks earlier this season, but Adams scored a touchdown in that game and they only won by two despite Sam Darnold 's horrific four-interception performance.

Parsons has posted a message on social media regarding the development.

First, Patrick Mahomes went down. Then, it was Micah Parsons. The NFL lost two of its all-time greatest players to serious knee injuries in a span of a few hours on Sunday, ruining a day filled with exciting comebacks and fascinating stories.

Diggs and Prescott felt for their former teammate while Jones, on the heels of a season-breaking loss, declined to address Parsons' injury.

On the NFC side, Green Bay Packers trade acquisition Micah Parsons suffered what is feared to be a torn ACL in Sunday's 34-26 loss to the Denver Broncos. Parsons has totaled 12.5 sacks, 12 tackles for loss and a forced fumble in his first season with the Packers.
