Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons departed Sunday’s road game against the Denver Broncos with a non-contact left knee injury.
Parsons collapsed in a heap and clutched his knee after attempting to take down Broncos quarterback Bo Nix in the final minute of the third quarter. The two-time All-Pro walked to the locker room with the help of medical personnel. The Packers quikcly announced he was questionable to return before downgrading him to out during the fourth quarter.
Parsons came into Sunday with 12.5 sacks in his first season with Green Bay, which acquired him in a blockbuster trade with the Dallas Cowboys in August.
Packers wide receiver Christian Watson was ruled out for the remainder of the game with a chest injury.
Watson was hurt on a deep pass that was intercepted by Denver cornerback Patrick Surtain II with 12:55 left in the third quarter. Surtain landed on Watson as he made a leaping catch of Jordan Love’s throw.
Watson, who missed the first six games while rehabbing a torn ACL suffered last season, entered Sunday with 25 receptions for 452 yards and five touchdown catches.
