PackersOct 27, 10:31 PM

Packers LB Zaire Franklin out for Thursday vs. Panthers

Packers LB Zaire Franklin (shin) will miss Thursday's game against the Panthers, coach Matt LaFleur said. Hopper and McDuffie will again handle linebacker duties, according to Rob Demovsky of ESPN.

Our Take: The Packers' defense missed its captain on Sunday, as the Lions outgained Green Bay 415-324 and averaged 6.3 yards per play in a 20-17 win. Avoiding injured reserve is a relief, though Franklin's status for Thursday's game against the Panthers is unclear.
