Franks (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to play. Franks practiced fully all week and is good to go for Sunday, though it's unclear if he'll be active with Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas healthy and Tommy Tremble (back) practicing fully Friday despite being listed as questionable. Franks is off the fantasy radar.

Franks (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to play. Franks practiced fully all week and is good to go for Sunday, though it's unclear if he'll be active with Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas healthy and Tommy Tremble (back) practicing fully Friday despite being listed as questionable. Franks is off the fantasy radar.
Franks (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday. Franks hasn't officially been cleared from concussion protocol yet, but his activity at practice is a good sign for his potential availability for Week 10. If he can clear concussion protocol by Friday, there's a good chance he'd avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.
Franks (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints. Franks was unable to practice all week after sustaining a concussion in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos, so it's no surprise he won't suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. With Franks sidelined in Week 9, Carolina's tight end room will likely consist of Tommy Tremble (back), Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas.
Franks (concussion) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Franks was diagnosed with a concussion during the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos. He has been unable to practice this week, and even if he were to return Friday in a limited capacity, he appears to be a long shot to play against the Saints on Sunday. With Tommy Tremble working through a back injury, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas may be the only healthy tight ends on the active roster ahead of Sunday's game, which could lead to Carolina elevating Stephen Sullivan or Jordan Matthews from the practice squad.
Franks (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports. Franks will remain in the league's concussion protocols, and he'll need to gain clearance before returning to regular-season action. His practice participation leading up to the Panthers' Week 9 game against New Orleans on Sunday, Nov. 3 will be worth monitoring.
Franks (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Denver, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports. Franks is being evaluated for a concussion after getting hit in the head while on punt coverage. He's been one of the Panthers' best special-teams players this season, but in order to return, he will need to pass the league's concussion protocols.
The Panthers signed Franks to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports. Franks only played one offensive snap during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers due to starting tight end Tommy Tremble ultimately being active. With Ian Thomas (calf) on IR until early October at the earliest, and Jordan Matthews being released, Franks will get a chance to continue holding down a depth role for Carolina.
Franks reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log. Franks played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 26-3 loss versus the Chargers. With Tommy Tremble presumably close to being back to full strength, it's hard to imagine Franks earning a significant share of the Panthers' tight end snaps any time soon.
The Panthers elevated Franks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, ahead of Sunday's matchup against Los Angeles. Franks was cut by Carolina on Monday before being re-signed to the practice squad, and he'll now suit up for the team Week 2. With Tommy Tremble (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Panthers were in need of additional depth at the tight end position.
