Packers' Micah Parsons Says He Can Recover From Torn ACL in Time to Play Early Next Season
Packers aim to extend coach Matt LaFleur, whose 76-40-1 record spans seven seasons; Micah Parsons, recovering from ACL, credits LaFleur for his signing and expects to return early next season.
- On January 12, Adam Schefter reported the Packers are expected to try to keep head coach Matt LaFleur, while Packers president Ed Policy is reportedly expected to meet with LaFleur soon to avoid a lame-duck coach.
- Two days after the defeat, players packed up lockers and cited injuries as a factor; the Packers lost five straight games after Parsons' injury, including a 31-27 NFC wild-card loss in Chicago.
- Parsons told reporters `I reached out to him when I started seeing this, and I said, 'Man, when I agreed to come here, you were part of the reason why I came here, I want you a part of this and I think you're a great coach,'` after the wild-card loss, supporting LaFleur's return.
- With a 76-40-1 record, Matt LaFleur remains in demand and retaining him could cost upwards of $15 million annually, complicating Green Bay Packers' extension talks.
- Sources told ESPN the team will try to work out a deal in the coming days as players like Parsons and Kraft push for clarity and both sides want to avoid a lame-duck season.
