Packers updates on Micah Parsons, Zaire Franklin, Skyy Moore, Sean Rhyan

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur provided injury updates on edge rusher Micah Parsons, linebacker Zaire Franklin, receiver/returner Skyy Moore and center Sean Rhyan before Wednesday's practice, the first on-field prep for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 10.

Parsons, who returned to practice last week but remains on the PUP list, is inching closer to a return. He is expected to go through team drills for the first time this week, although he has an illness and won't practice on Wednesday.

"That is the plan," LaFleur said when asked if Parsons would get 11-on-11 reps this week.

Parsons is not expected to return to the game action until Nov. 25 against the Los Angeles Rams. It's unclear if his illness, and the missed practice time, will affect his return date. He still has 14 days left in his practice window.

On Franklin, who has missed three straight games with a shin injury, and Moore, who has missed four games on injured reserve with an ankle injury, the Packers are optimistic they could practice and potentially play this week.

"We're working through that right now, that's hopeful," LaFleur said.

The Packers are working through several injuries at linebacker, so Franklin's return could help stabilize the unit. Moore was a dynamic returner for the Packers during the first five weeks.

There is also hope for Rhyan, who hurt his ankle in Detroit in Week 7 and has missed the last two games. The Packers aren't ruling him out for Sunday.

"I think, potentially, that's a day by day thing right now," LaFleur said.

John Williams has started the last two games at center and done an admirable job, given the circumstances, but Rhyan's return could allow the Packers to finally settle in to a "best five" along the offensive line. LaFleur was unwilling to provide insight on who would start at guard this week.

The Packers will release their first injury report of Week 10 later on Wednesday afternoon.
