Micah Parsons has been sidelined since December after suffering a torn ACL in the Green Bay Packers’ loss to the Denver Broncos. He underwent a meniscus procedure and remains on the physically unable to perform list as he works through his recovery.

Parsons said the Packers’ nine-month rehabilitation timeline is designed to prioritize his long-term health, with a potential return expected around mid-October.

While Parsons continues working toward his return, he has remained active away from football, building his profile as a businessman and brand ambassador. His existing partnerships include Adidas, BOSS, Old Spice, Tostitos, Pizza Hut, C4 Energy and Jams, while he also serves as president of B/R Gridiron.

Parsons has now added another partnership to his growing portfolio. The 27-year-old EDGE announced a collaboration with Good Candy through a joint Instagram post, with the company welcoming the Packers star to its family.

“@_micahparsons11 is officially part of the Good Candy family, and yeah, our flavor hits harder now 😤”

The latest move adds to Parsons’ growing business presence throughout his playing career. He has also worked with GLD, a jewelry brand he has represented since his college days at Penn State.

Parsons will ultimately hope his next major announcement comes on the football field. In 2025, his first season with Green Bay, he recorded 12.5 sacks, 41 tackles, 12 tackles for loss and 26 quarterback hits in 14 games before his injury. He earned first-team All-Pro honors, made the Pro Bowl and finished among the finalists for AP Defensive Player of the Year.
