GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers are bringing back veteran defensive lineman Ricky Jean Francois, but it's not because they fear Mike Daniels has a season-ending injury.
Still, they need depth on defense, where they have a slew of injuries -- including Daniels' hip, which forced him out of Sunday night's loss at the Atlanta Falcons. The Packers will have to make room for Jean Francois, but they do not plan to put Daniels on injured reserve, a source said.
However, Daniels' status for Sunday's game against the Bengals is up in the air.
