# Bill Huber: Huber projects the Packers' offensive line and expects Zaire Franklin to miss another game. They also forecast John Williams starting at center in Sean Rhyan's place, with Morgan and Belton at the tackle spots and Tomlinson/Zeitler possibly at guard. **Claimed:** Nov 12, 2026 **Pundit:** Bill Huber — https://missedtakes.co/pundits/bill-huber **Outlet:** Sports Illustrated — https://missedtakes.co/outlets/sports-illustrated **How it reached us:** published in writing **Original:** https://www.si.com/nfl/packers/onsi/packers-thursday-update-from-practice-parsons-smack-ol-injured-starters 7 checkable claims — 5 depth chart calls and 2 availability calls — each graded on its own rather than as one all-or-nothing call. It names 8 players and teams, each linked to their own record. None of them have settled yet — they grade once their results are in. Of the 4 unsettled calls enough other pundits have weighed in on, this one lands below the rest of the room on every one. > Jordan Morgan will start at left tackle, Anthony Belton will start at right tackle and John Williams probably will start at center. *(their words, quoted for attribution)* ## The claims - **Anthony Belton to be 1st on the depth chart** - Kind: Depth Chart Calls · About: Anthony Belton, Green Bay Packers - Verdict: not settled yet - “He did not practice and seems destined to miss another game.
