Micah Parsons voices frustration after Jaxson Dart's knee injury

The Green Bay pass rusher, himself working back from a knee injury, posted messages of support for the Giants quarterback on Monday.

New York Giants quarterback Jaxson Dart exited Monday's game against the Los Angeles Rams with a knee injury after taking a hit while throwing during the opening quarter. He needed assistance reaching the sideline, and the team later announced he would not return. The Giants went on to lose 28-6.

Green Bay Packers defensive end Micah Parsons, who continues to recover from his own knee injury, responded to the news on X. "I freaking hate injuries, man! I hate that they are a part of football!" he wrote, adding in a separate post, "Prayers for Dart!"

Dart is feared to have sprained his MCL and could be sidelined for an extended stretch. Parsons tore his ACL in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, cutting short what had been a productive first season in Green Bay. The four-time All-Pro could be back as early as Week 5 against Chicago or Week 6 against Dallas, though no firm timetable has been set. According to The Athletic's Matt Schneidman, Parsons is already eligible to practice, with next Wednesday's session before the trip to Tampa viewed as a realistic window for his return.

The Packers, who beat the New York Jets 20-17 in overtime on Sunday behind Trey Smack's winning field goal to end a six-game skid, are scheduled to face the Atlanta Falcons in Week 3.
