Packers coach Matt LaFleur hopeful center Sean Rhyan can return this week

Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur remains hopeful that injured players will boost his team this week, despite the NFL trade deadline having passed. Edge rusher Micah Parsons, who was sick, will not participate in the team's jog-through on Wednesday, November 11. However, LaFleur confirmed that Parsons is still considered for the game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, stating that he will be a part of 11-on-11 drills for the first time since returning to practice last week.

Center Sean Rhyan, who has been sidelined with an ankle sprain for the past two games, could return to the lineup this week, though LaFleur emphasized that it would be a "day-by-day" process. Additionally, inside linebacker Zaire Franklin, who missed the last three games due to a shin injury, and receiver Skyy Moore, who has been cleared from injured reserve after playing in the New England game, may also be available for practice and the upcoming match.

Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper, who dropped out of the game against the Patriots after just two plays due to illness, is also expected to return to practice this week. Packers general manager Brian Gutekunst was unable to secure any trade additions, but LaFleur remains focused on the team's current roster and their upcoming challenge against the Vikings.
