It's a long road ahead but Micah Parsons has taken the first step in returning to the gridiron.
The All-Pro edge rusher announced on Monday night that he had a successful surgery to his ACL after tearing it during Week 15 of the regular season.
"Today went amazing!!! LFG!!" Parsons wrote on social media.
It was earlier Monday when the defensive end posted a photo from his hospital bed.
Prayers up to #1 for a successful ACL repair surgery 🙏🤝🧀 pic.twitter.com/FRzBYALoGP

He also commented on a video of his first sack as a Packer.
"This stadium eruption was the loudest I’ve ever heard," Parsons said. "I wish I could relive this moment a few more times!"
Parsons felt nostalgic leading up to the surgery and it showed. As the Packers prepare to enter the playoffs without arguably their best player, Parsons is preparing for a battle of his own.
It's not one that will require strength or speed. Instead, it demands mental toughness and patience.
While Green Bay gets ready to start their climb to the Super Bowl, Parsons has taken a step in his road to recovery.
