Micah Parsons is facing the most difficult stretch of his football life, and he is not pretending otherwise.

The Green Bay Packers received potentially favorable news ahead of Saturday night’s matchup as the Baltimore Ravens clarified Lamar Jackson’s injury status. With playoff implications on both sides, the update could shift the balance of a critical Week 17 game. Baltimore listed Jackson as doubtful due to a back contusion that forced him out of last week’s loss and kept him off the practice field all week. The two-time MVP has not taken live reps since the injury, making his availability increasingly unlikely. That development places added pressure on a Ravens team already fighting slim postseason odds. If Jackson is…
