Ready for Thursday night
Franklin-Myers (foot) has no injury designation ahead of Thursday night's matchup against the Chargers, Susanna Weir of the Broncos' official site reports. Franklin-Myers appeared to be on track to miss the Broncos' Week 16 divisional matchup after opening the week of practice with consecutive DNPs. However, he upgraded to full participation Wednesday, suggesting he's moved past his foot injury in time to suit up Thursday night. Now that the 28-year-old has returned to full health, he's expected to serve as one of Denver's starting defensive ends.
Estimated as DNP on Monday
Franklin-Myers (foot) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's estimated practice report, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. The veteran defensive lineman was apparently injured in Sunday's win over the Colts, as he played just 32 percent of the defensive snaps, his lowest mark since Week 2. Franklin-Myers has started 13 of 14 games he's appeared in this season, logging 36 tackles (17 solo), including 5.5 sacks.
Will suit up Sunday
Franklin-Myers (concussion) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports. Despite having suffered a concussion less than a week ago, Franklin-Myers is on track to play in Week 3. He'll be hunting for his first sack of the season against a middling Buccaneers offensive line.
Progressing through protocols
Franklin-Myers (concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice. Franklin-Myers suffered a concussion during Denver's Week 2 loss to Pittsburgh. The 2018 fourth-round pick opened the week as a DNP on Wednesday, but his increased participation Thursday indicates that he is progressing through the league's protocols. If he's able to participate in full Friday, Franklin-Myers would have a good shot at playing against Tampa Bay on Sunday.
Misses Wednesday's practice
Franklin-Myers (concussion) didn't practice Wednesday, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports. Franklin-Myers has yet to clear concussion protocol after sustaining the injury in the first quarter of Denver's Week 2 loss to the Steelers. If the Stephen F. Austin product is unable to move past protocol by the time of Sunday's contest, expect Jordan Jackson to serve as the Broncos' top right defensive end.
Won't return Sunday
Franklin-Myers has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Steelers due to a concussion, Parker Gabriel of The Denver Post reports. Franklin-Myers exited late in the first quarter of Sunday's game after sustaining a head injury. He was quickly ruled out after being diagnosed with a concussion, and he will finish the game with three solo tackles. Jordan Jackson will take over for Franklin-Myers at defensive end opposite starter Zach Allen for the rest of Sunday's game.
Enters concussion protocols
Franklin-Myers (head) is being evaluated for a concussion and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Steelers, Chris Tomasson of The Denver Gazette reports. Franklin-Myers sustained a head injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game and registered three solo tackles before exiting. Jordan Jackson is the next man up at defensive end alongside starter Zach Allen while Franklin-Myers is sidelined.
Traded to Denver
Franklin-Myers was traded from the Jets to the Broncos on Saturday, Al Iannazzone of Newsday reports. In what was effectively a salary dump, the Jets acquired a sixth-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft for the defensive lineman. Franklin-Myers immediately steps in as Denver's starting defensive end, and the fifth-year veteran should see ample playing time for a Broncos team retooling seemingly its entire roster on the fly.
