MILWAUKEE —

An MRI on Monday confirmed that Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons sustained a season-ending torn ACL in his left knee.

The non-contact injury occurred Sunday during the third quarter of Green Bay’s 34-26 loss at Denver, which snapped the Packers’ four-game winning streak and knocked them out of first place in the NFC North.

Parsons had gotten past right tackle Mike McGlinchey and was chasing Broncos quarterback Bo Nix when he pulled up and fell to the ground.

Parsons has 12 1/2 sacks this season after the Packers acquired him from Dallas in August. The Packers gave Parsons a four-year, $188 million contract with $136 million guaranteed, making him the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history.

“I may be sidelined, but I am not defeated,” Parsons said Monday in a social media post. “I’m deeply grateful to the Packers organization and my teammates for their unwavering support, love and belief in me during this season.”
