Notches 7.5 sacks in 2025 Franklin-Myers recorded 25 tackles (12 solo), including 7.5 sacks in 16 games with Denver in 2025.

Impact Franklin-Myers' 7.5 sack total was a career high while also ranking third among all Broncos defenders in 2025. The veteran pass rusher's 25 total tackles accounted for his lowest total since his sophomore season as a member of the Jets, but his ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks this season made him a key player in the Broncos' strong defensive unit. Franklin-Myers will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the 29-year-old's impressive sack totals in recent years should garner interest from teams looking to bolster their pass rush for the 2026 season.

Logs full practice Tuesday Franklin-Myers (hip) was a full participant in Tuesday's practice.

Impact Franklin-Myers was held out of the Broncos' regular-season finale against the Chargers on Jan. 4.

Tagged as questionable Week 18 Franklin-Myers (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Franklin-Myers had his practice reps limited during Week 18 prep due to a hip issue, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Broncos announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.
