Packers rookie Dennis-Sutton urges patience after 21-point home loss

Green Bay Packers rookie linebacker Dani Dennis-Sutton posted a blunt message on X urging fans not to give up on the team after a 21-point home loss to the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers are 1-2, their worst start since 2014, and fans booed the team early in the game. The loss exposed severe offensive line issues, a lack of run game, and defensive struggles against Bijan Robinson. Dennis-Sutton, a fourth-round pick, has nine tackles in three games and is optimistic about the return of mentor Micah Parsons in mid-October. The team is 1-7 in its last eight games overall, and while 14 games remain, analysts question if the current roster can replicate the 2014 comeback.

Jerry Jones: Parsons trade mirrors Herschel Walker, fuels Cowboys' risk-taking

Dallas owner Jerry Jones again compared the Micah Parsons trade to the Herschel Walker deal, saying the extra first-round picks and even Kenny Clark helped spark a more aggressive, makeover-driven approach for Dallas, though Parsons’ move came at the cost of a top defender; he framed the sequence as a Las Vegas–style gamble that reshaped the team.

Parsons links lack of camp to ACL tear, fueling camp-contract debate

Packers linebacker Micah Parsons said his ACL tear may have been influenced by accumulated wear from playing without training camp, a consequence of skipping camp last year while awaiting a Cowboys contract before being traded to Green Bay. The piece frames this within a broader discussion: while some view in-camp holdouts as risky, the smarter approach is to finalize deals before camp to ensure proper season preparation and transfer some injury risk to teams.

Packers stack injury list as Parsons headlines wave of PUP additions

Green Bay opened training camp with six players on the injury/return lists (Brooks on NFI; Kraft, Musgrave, Banks, Hargrave, Hadden on PUP), and then added five more the next day, led by edge rusher Micah Parsons (PUP, torn ACL) and defensive lineman Jordon Riley (PUP, torn Achilles). Also on PUP: Brant Banks, Nazir Stackhouse and long snapper Matt Orzech. Right tackle Zach Tom and defensive lineman Devonte Wyatt are healthy for camp, Kraft is expected to miss the first week or two, and Parsons is projected to miss at least four games of the 2026 season while Riley is unlikely to contribute in 2026. No word yet on Musgrave, the other Banks, Hargrave, Stackhouse or Orzech. Training camp begins Wednesday, with more updates anticipated.

Anderson lands $150M extension, eclipsing Parsons' non-QB record

Houston Texans edge-rusher Will Anderson signed a three-year, $150 million contract with roughly $134 million guaranteed and a no-trade clause, a deal reportedly surpassing Micah Parsons’ prior non-quarterback record by about 8% per year.

The numbers and guarantees are subject to typical caveats in initial reporting.

Raiders reportedly want a Micah Parsons–like package for Maxx Crosby (two first-round picks plus an impact player), a price ESPN says is currently too steep for teams despite around a dozen clubs showing interest. Crosby, 28, signed a big extension last year and remains under Raiders control through 2028, with the team hoping offseason demand could push the price higher while pursuing a fit that helps them win.
