Following a season-ending ACL tear against the Denver Broncos during Week 15, Green Bay Packers linebacker Micah Parsons is rehabilitating ahead of schedule and expects to be ready for the 2026 season opener.
Prior to the injury, Parsons was having a dominant season with 12.5 sacks through 14 games, placing him in the conversation for All-Pro and Defensive Player of the Year. However, despite not being fully healthy, Parsons hasn’t lost interest in stepping into a boxing gym.
Micah Parsons almost jumps into Logan Paul’s $1M boxing challenge despite ACL injury
Logan Paul recently issued a $1 millionchallenge to Le’Veon Bellon Saturday’s episode of Impaulsive. He said no one in the league could beat him in a boxing match and called out Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua, Tom Brady, and Sam Darnold.
Two days later, Paul clarified the terms after players around the NFL pushed back,penning, “My $1,000,000 open bet to fight NFL players has caused an uproar. Here’s the update: Nobody is willing to put $1M in escrow and be flown here to Puerto Rico (all expenses paid) and box with three professional judges. They all want to formalize this with a streamer, venue, press conferences, etc. get paid to fight but not risk their own money.

He added, “I won’t step away from WWE to coordinate and train for an event, but if any player wants to actually put up $1M and fight at my gym with official referees and judges, show yourselves. Also, if they want no cameras, I’m down.”
After watching Paul deliberately wanting skin in the game, the defensive end responded to the open challenge, noting,“I got million just let me get healthy first!!”

With a $188 million contract under his belt, putting up $1 million in escrow wouldn’t change his lifestyle. The real hurdle is medical clearance for him now.
In the process, Jake Paul added fuel to the fire, claiming there is “no difference” between what Logan would do to an NFL player and what he did to former NBA player Nate Robinson. However, no football players are buying the Paul Brothers’ take.
