Takes leap in sophomore campaign Franklin (hamstring) ended the 2025 regular season with 65 receptions on 104 targets for 709 yards and six touchdowns, adding five rushes for 12 yards across 17 games. He also lost...

Impact Franklin became a much bigger part of the Broncos' offense in his second season, and his continued development and existing chemistry with quarterback Bo Nix led to more usage in Denver's passing attack in 2025. Before suffering a hamstring injury in the divisional-round win over the Bills this postseason, the 23-year-old wideout was one of Nix's most reliable targets this season behind No. 1 receiver Courtland Sutton. Of all Broncos pass catchers, Franklin finished second behind Sutton in catches, targets, receiving yards and touchdowns. The Oregon product finished third on the team with 282 yards after contact, behind running back RJ Harvey (360) and tight end Evan Engram (302). Under contract through the 2027 season, Franklin should remain a key piece of an improving Broncos offense for the foreseeable future.

Not suiting up for AFC Championship Franklin (hamstring) is inactive Sunday for the Broncos' AFC Championship Game against the Patriots, Aric DiLalla of Denver's official site reports.

Impact Franklin was a limited practice participant throughout the week and was deemed questionable heading into Sunday, but the wideout will ultimately be forced to the sideline for the first time all season while he recovers from the hamstring injury he sustained in the divisional-round win over the Bills. With Franklin sitting out, the Broncos should have more reps open at receiver for Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey behind No. 1 wideout Courtland Sutton.

Questionable to face New England Franklin (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's AFC Championship Game against the Patriots.

Impact Franklin, who was limited to 13 snaps in this past Saturday's divisional-round win over the Bills, was able to practice in a limited fashion this week, but his status for the AFC Championship Game won't be confirmed until the Broncos' inactives are posted ahead of the team's 3:00 p.m. ET kickoff. If Franklin ends up limited or out this weekend, added WR snaps alongside Courtland Sutton would be available for Pat Bryant, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey.

Stays limited Thursday Franklin (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Franklin maintained his activity level from Wednesday, while fellow WR Pat Bryant (concussion) upgraded from limited to full. Both players made early departures from this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the Bills, but Franklin himself has just one more chance to prove his health before Denver potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Sunday's AFC Championship Game versus the Patriots.

Limited Wednesday Franklin (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice, Aric DiLalla of the Broncos' official site reports.

Impact Both Franklin and fellow WR Pat Bryant (concussion) made early departures from this past Saturday's divisional-round win against the Bills, but both players were able to handle some drills to begin prep for the AFC Championship Game. Franklin will have two more chances to prove the health of his hamstring this week before the Broncos potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's contest against the Patriots.

Won't return Saturday Franklin (hamstring) won't return to Saturday's divisional-round game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact The Broncos now have lost two wide receivers to injury in their playoff opener, the other being Pat Bryant (concussion). Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey are the available options at the position for Denver for the rest of Saturday's contest.

Exits game with hamstring injury Franklin (hamstring) is questionable to return to Saturday's AFC divisional-round game against the Bills, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.

Impact Franklin appeared to tweak his hamstring in the second quarter and is being evaluated by medical staff in the locker room to determine whether he can return. The Broncos are already without Pat Bryant (concussion) for the rest of Saturday's game, so Denver would be down to Courtland Sutton, Marvin Mims and Lil'Jordan Humphrey at wide receiver if Franklin is unable to return.
