Here are all the Packers’ injuries today vs the Broncos

Yes, the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Denver Broncos hurt.

But the injuries, and there were many of them, made it hurt even more.

The Packers lost several players to injury, including to some of their most valuable to the roster, in the 34-26 loss to snap a four-game winning streak.

Here’s a look at all the Packers’ injuries during the Week 15 game.

Micah Parsons

This is devastating.

The Packers’ impactful edge rusher suffered a knee injury late in the third quarter and the NFL Network is reporting there is fear that Parsons has a torn ACL.

Parsons went down with the non-contact injury as he was approaching Broncos quarterback Bo Nix on a first down play with the Packers nursing a 23-21 lead.

Trainers immediately tended to him with Parsons heard saying “I’m out.”

If Parsons has a torn ACL he’ll be out for the season, ending a dominant first year in Green Bay in the most cruel way for one of the NFL’s biggest game changers.

Christian Watson

Earlier in the third quarter it was the Packers’ most explosive player on offense who left the game with an injury.

Christian Watson has emerged as the Packers’ No. 1 offensive threat since returning from a torn ACL earlier this season

But that momentum could be halted.

Watson exited with a chest injury when he came crashing to the field when trying to make a catch on a deep ball that was intercepted by Patrick Surtain.

He went to the hospital to get checked out but is flying home with the team.

Zach Tom

Zach Tom departed Sunday’s game in the first half with a right knee injury.

He was confident it wasn’t anything long term. But it’s a blow for a line that is already missing veteran Pro Bowl center Elgton Jenkins with a season-ending broken ankle.

Tom had signed a massive contract extension this summer.

Evan Williams

The Packers’ second-year safety also departed the game in the second half with a knee injury.

The injury doesn’t appear to be long term.

But with the Packers set to face Chicago Bears quarterback Caleb Williams and the Baltimore Ravens Lamar Jackson in the next two weeks being down any one is going to hurt.

Josh Whyle

The first injury on the day was to Josh Whyle, the Packers’ third-string tight end. He suffered a concussion in the first quarter.

He has been on the active roster since tight end Tucker Kraft was lost with a torn ACL in early November.

Whyle, a third-year player, had spent the first part of the season on the practice squad.

Jayden Reed

The Packers’ third-year receiver might not show up on the injury report but it’s worth mentioning that he was slow to get up late in the game.

He departed with 56 seconds as the Packers trailed 34-26 on their final drive. It wasn’t clear what was ailing him – it appeared to be a lower body injury – but he didn’t finish the game.

Reed had just returned last week after missing three months of the season with a broken collarbone and foot injury.
