Packers’ Micah Parsons returns to practice, 21-day PUP window opened

Micah Parsons is practicing for the first time in almost 11 months, and his 21-day PUP window is open, per Matt LaFleur.

Walt's take: I wrote this week that the Packers are somehow 4-2 despite having no running game, lacking a consistent pass rush, and missing their two best defensive players. They destroyed the Bears and Cowboys somehow after getting blown out by the Falcons and being outplayed by the Jets.

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.

Packers C Sean Rhyan confirmed with high-ankle sprain, likely out at least a month

Testing confirmed Packers C Sean Rhyan has a high-ankle sprain that will likely sideline him at least a month, according to Mike Zenitz of CBS Sports.

Our Take: The short week makes this worse. Green Bay faces the Panthers on Thursday night coming off a 20-17 loss to the Lions in which it missed two field goals and squandered several red-zone chances.
