Packers cut Ricky Jean Francois again; Vince Biegel could replace him

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers released defensive tackle Ricky Jean Francois -- again.

It's the second time this season they've let the ninth-year veteran go.

The first time came after he played just six snaps in the regular-season opener. They brought him back in Week 3.

On Wednesday, they released him again. Although they didn't immediately replace him on the roster, they're likely to fill his spot with rookie fourth-round outside linebacker Vince Biegel, who appears ready to come off the physically unable to perform list.
