Packers coach Matt LaFleur said Friday that Franklin took a knee
to the shin during a collision and wouldn’t be available for the
Lions game. Franklin had been added to the injury report on
Thursday.
“I don’t think it’s going to be anything too long-term, but just
an unfortunate deal,” LaFleur said. “It happens when you play
football, especially the way our guys have been practicing. But
I think we’ve got a lot of confidence in (Isaiah) McDuffie and (Ty’Ron)
Hopper and Nick Niemann if need be to go in there and do a great
job for us.”
Franklin has 41 tackles in his first year with Green Bay after
spending eight seasons with the Indianapolis Colts. The Packers
acquired him in a trade for defensive tackle Colby Wooden.
Green Bay’s top tackler is safety Evan Williams, who has 49
stops.
The Packers (4-2) will be seeking their fourth straight win
Sunday when they face the Lions (3-2).
