Packers Make Final Call on Micah Parsons, Zaire Franklin Ahead of Patriots Game

The Green Bay Packers defense played excellently without linebackers Micah Parsons and Zaire Franklin last week against the Carolina Panthers, an effort they will have to duplicate again on Sunday against the New England Patriots in Foxborough. Green Bay released its final injury report on Friday, November 6, ruling out both Parsons and Franklin for the Week 9 contest. Parsons continues to work his way back from the ACL and meniscus tears he suffered in December of last season, though he was on the practice field this week for the first time in nearly 11 months.
