The Green Bay Packers went into the 2025 season with huge expectations after buying All-Professional pass-rusher Micah Parsons in a commerce with the Dallas Cowboys.
It was additionally operating again Josh Jacobs’ second season in Inexperienced Bay after posting the sixth-most dashing yards (1,329) and the second-most dashing touchdowns (15) in 2024, so it was clear the Packers had been outfitted to make a Tremendous Bowl run on either side of the ball.
Parsons is now set to start the season on the reserve/Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list after tearing his ACL and damaging his meniscus final season, whereas Jacobs was placed on the commissioner’s exempt list Sunday after being charged with misdemeanor battery and misdemeanor legal harm to property following an alleged altercation in Could.
Not solely will Parsons’ absence be felt, however the load will fall on quarterback Jordan Love‘s shoulders with an unproven backfield behind him and power him to place up a number of factors, one thing that ESPN NFL insider Adam Schefter echoed on Monday’s version of “Get Up.”
Jordan Love might want to step up amid Packers’ setbacks
“(The Packers) are going to have to attain factors now with no confirmed operating again,” Schefter mentioned. “Kaleb Johnson washed out in Pittsburgh. The Steelers had no use for him after two years of being there. MarShawn Lloyd has by no means taken a snap on the NFL stage on account of accidents, or 15 dashing yards, little or no. Chris Brooks has run for 395 yards. So that you’re taking a look at beneath 500 yards for the three operating backs which can be on their roster till, and if and when, Josh Jacobs returns, at any time when that’s. That is a serious query mark going into the season.”
