Green Bay received a new life opportunity last week when they achieved the exchange to acquire Parsons for a couple of selections (probably late) first round and the defensive Tackle of Pro Bowl Kenny Clark. Parsons is dealing with a back injury and played only 29 defensive snapshots, but it was effective in his debut with the Packers, publishing a sack against the lions QB Jared Goff and three pressures of Quarterback, according to the next NFL statistics (the second more in the team, only behind Rashan Gary).
The Lions fought to put points on the board in their first game without Ben Johnson calling plays, with Jared Goff averaging only 5.8 yards by completion (in relation to the average of his 7.5 race), totaling 225 aerial yards in 39 attempts, throwing a touchdown and an interception while taking four looting in the day.
Little less than 1,100 miles southwest, the Denver Broncos welcomed the Tennessee Titans in a battle of 2025 No. 1 CAM WARD and 2024 QB BO NX first round. Although Ward had a relatively slow beginning with only 112 air yards in 28 attempts (0 TD, 0 INT), it was Nix who looked like the rookie in this contest, publishing the second three -round game of his career in the back of two interceptions and a lost fumble.

Finally, a strong career game promoted by veteran Jk Dobbins and rookie Rj Harvey, sealed with a Fumble of Ward Strips, then recovered by his rookie partner, the corner of the Broncos, Jahdae Barron, won the Broncos his first victory of the season.
NFL fans and fantasy managers will have some injuries to monitor when leaving the afternoon game board, including those of the San Francisco 49ers closed star wing, George Kittle and the newly out of Jauan Jennings. Kittle came out early in this contest and was quickly ruled out with an lesion in the hamstrings, while Jennings is now dealing with a shoulder problem after returning from an injury to the calf, which forced him to waste time in the training camp.
Fortunately, the star corridor Christian McCaffrey was a complete opportunity after a scare of injuries at the end of the week, appearing in the late injury report with a calf injury and winning the “questionable” label. CMC handled a complete workload in the first game of the team’s season against the Seattle Seahawks, totaling 31 touches for 142, leading the team with nine receptions in the day.
