Franklin was a bad fit in Lou Anarumo's defense in 2025 and it showed, although he still managed 125 total tackles. The Packers may have just given up a bag of Dill Pickle Cheetos to get him, but Fraklin will wear the green dot in Green Bay and led the league in tackles in the long-ago days of two years ago.

Several players missing from practicing
Green Bay Packers LB Edgerrin Cooper (foot), LB Zaire Franklin (personal), CB Marlon Jones (undisclosed) and TE Josh Whyle (neck) are not taking part in an indoor closed practice Sunday, Aug. 9. However, head coach Matt LaFleur said none of the injuries or situations are considered long-term. Franklin, for instance, was away due to excused travel.
