Micah Parsons predicts Eagles to win NFC East as he recovers

Summary

Micah Parsons, the Green Bay Packers pass rusher, is expected to miss at least the first five weeks of the 2026 NFL season due to a torn ACL injury. He has set an ambitious return target for Week 6 against the Dallas Cowboys. Despite the injury, Parsons has expressed confidence in the Philadelphia Eagles winning the NFC East, rather than his former team, the Cowboys. This prediction indicates ongoing tension between Parsons and Cowboys owner Jerry Jones, as Parsons seemingly doubts Dallas's title aspirations. The Packers will seek to navigate early season challenges without their star defender.
