Zaire Franklin Could Return to Practice for Green Bay Packers in Week 9

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur stated that Mike linebacker Zaire Franklin, who has missed multiple games with a hairline fracture in his shin, could practice for the team in Week 9 as he is currently day-to-day. The Packers have been down both starting off-ball linebackers with Edgerrin Cooper on injured reserve, forcing unit adjustments with Isaiah McDuffie and Ty'Ron Hopper.
