Micah Parsons isn’t biting on the Bears’ noise.
After Green Bay handled Chicago in Week 5, the Packers star used a new episode of his podcast, The Edge, to brush off the trash talk that had flared before the game. Parsons took aim at Bears wide receiver Luther Burden III, but made it clear he had no interest in turning the back-and-forth into something bigger.
“I don’t be worried about him. They’re rage baiters. They wanna be viral all the time,” commented the Packers star.
Parsons kept the same tone when he expanded on it, saying, “I don’t got no response for him. I’m in too good of a headspace to get in that world.
You gotta leave it to the people who care about that. To me, this his second year in the rivalry.
This my second year in the rivalry. I don’t got nothing to say.
We ain’t earn that right yet.”
The comments came after a Week 5 game that never stayed close for long. The Packers beat the Bears 31-7, with Chicago quarterbacks Tyson Bagent and Case Keenum combining for three interceptions as Green Bay rolled.
The rivalry has long had edge, and the noise carried into the lead-up to this one. But once kickoff arrived, the Packers took control and never gave Chicago much room to answer.
Now sitting at 3-2, Parsons and Green Bay are trying to climb in the NFC North and string together wins. The victory over the Bears was a solid start, and Week 6 brings another big stage: a Sunday Night Football matchup with the Dallas Cowboys.

Packers Defense Suddenly Looks Thin At The Worst Possible Time
The injury report landed at a tricky time for Green Bay, which is trying to get through Week 6 with its defense already under pressure. Nose tackle Jonathan Ford and cornerback Benjamin St-Juste are among the players ruled out, and receiver Skyy Moore will also miss the game, leaving the Packers to sort through some real depth concerns before facing the Cowboys.
The problems are most pronounced in the secondary, where the Packers can least afford to be stretched thin. Keisean Nixon is expected to play, but Brandon Cisse remains questionable, along with defensive tackle Anthony Campbell and wide receiver Savion Williams, so Green Bay is still waiting on a few key decisions before kickoff.

Packers Face A Risky WR Trade Debate As Injuries Keep Mounting
The Packers have steadied themselves lately, but the injury pileup at wide receiver has still left the roster with a familiar question: whether to stand pat or look for help. With the group thinned out, any trade chatter around a receiver feels more relevant than it might have a few weeks ago, especially for a team trying to keep its recent momentum intact while protecting its depth.
One name floating around is a young pass catcher whose NFL start has been uneven, which is exactly why this kind of discussion is tricky. Green Bay can use the conversation as a reminder of how thin the margin is at receiver, but it also has reason to be careful about paying meaningful draft capital for a player who has not yet put it all together.

Packers Face A Sunday Night Test With Plenty To Prove Against Dallas
Sunday night brings a familiar kind of spotlight to Lambeau Field, with the Packers set to host Dallas in a game that ought to say plenty about where this team stands. It is the kind of matchup that invites big-picture questions, and the discussion around it has already turned to how Green Bay can make a statement against a Cowboys team that will demand a clean, physical performance.
The projections for the game lean into that idea, with Green Bays edge rush and ground game viewed as the clearest paths to control. A breakout night from one young pass rusher would go a long way toward changing the feel of the matchup, and the same can be said for a tight end who has already become a steady part of the offense. If the Packers are going to come out on top, they may need both of those elements to show up in a hurry. [Read more 🡒]
