Inactive for Week 5 Franks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets in London.

Impact The undrafted rookie out of Arkansas had dressed for both of Atlanta's last two games, taking the field for four snaps as either a tight end or zone-read quarteback. Due to the team's lack of depth at receiver with Calvin Ridley (personal) and Russell Gage (ankle) not making the trip to London, Atlanta will keep the other five wideouts on its roster active, leaving no room for Franks. Josh Rosen will be the sole backup to starting signal-caller Matt Ryan.
