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

GREEN BAY – The NFL trade deadline has passed, and Green Bay Packers coach Matt LaFleur won’t be receiving any outside help. But some of his injured players are getting healthy and it’s possible he’ll get a boost from one or two of them this week. LaFleur said edge rusher Micah Parsons was sick and wouldn’t take part in the jog-through the team held Wednesday, Nov. 11. He has not been ruled out of the game against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday and LaFleur said the plan was still to have him take part in 11-on-11 drills for the first time since he returned to practice last week. Besides Parsons, who is on the physically unable to perform list, LaFleur said center Sean Rhyan could return this week after missing the last two games with an ankle sprain. “Potentially,” LaFleur said of Rhyan returning. “It will be a day-by-day thing.” LaFleur also said it’s possible inside linebacker Zaire Franklin (shin) and receiver Skyy Moore (high-ankle sprain) could return to practice and be available this week. Franklin has missed the last three games and Moore became eligible to return from injured reserve after the New England game. Linebacker Ty’Ron Hopper, who dropped out of the Patriots game after just two plays because of illness, could return to practice this week. LaFleur said he was not disappointed that general manager Brian Gutekunst wasn’t able to provide him with any players via the trade market. “I try to stay unemotional about all that,” LaFleur said. “I mean, to be honest with you, I just kind of focus on what we’ve got, and we've got a big task in front of us (with the Vikings). So, if there's opportunity there, great. If not, I don’t really waste too much time thinking about that.” The Packers will have to release a full injury report later in the day.
