Quiet outing in loss
Franklin tallied four tackles (two solo) during Indianapolis' loss versus the 49ers on Monday.
Impact
Franklin had a quiet outing during the loss, as he failed to record at least five tackles for just the third time this season. The 29-year-old will look to bounce back and return to his usual level of production during the Week 17 matchup against the Jaguars.

Double-digit tackles in defeat
Franklin recorded 10 tackles (seven solo) in the Colts' 18-16 loss to the Seahawks on Sunday.
Impact
Franklin again played 100 percent of the defensive snaps for the sixth straight game and 10th time across 14 contests this season. He's now produced double-digit tackles in four of the last five games after failing to reach 10 stops in any of the first nine weeks. On the year, Franklin has recorded 104 tackles (52 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass breakups on 95 percent of the Colts' defensive snaps.

Posts seven stops vs. Jacksonville
Franklin registered seven tackles (two solo) during the Colts' 36-19 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday.
Impact
Franklin was one of three Colts defenders to play every single snap, and he led the team in tackles for a second consecutive game. The 2018 seventh-rounder is up to 94 combined stops through 13 regular-season games, and he should crack the tackling century mark for a fourth consecutive year. That could come as soon as this Sunday against the Seahawks.

Another productive outing
Franklin logged 13 tackles (five solo) during the Colts' 20-16 loss to the Texans on Sunday.
Impact
Franklin followed up his 14-tackle performance in Week 12 against the Chiefs with a game-high 13 stops during Sunday's loss. The veteran linebacker has logged double-digit tackles in three consecutive games after failing to do so through the first nine games of the regular season. Through 12 regular-season games, Franklin has accumulated 87 tackles (43 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses and one forced fumble.

Season-high 14 stops in loss
Franklin compiled 14 total tackles (seven solo) and a forced fumble in Sunday's 23-20 overtime loss to the Chiefs.
Impact
Franklin finished second on the team in takedowns behind fellow linebacker Germaine Pratt (20), registering a season-high 14 snaps in the loss. The 29-year-old has now recorded double-digit tackles in back-to-back contests after failing to get to 10 tackles in any contests prior this season. Additionally, he made his mark on the game in the fourth quarter, stripping running back Kareem Hunt. The ball was recovered by teammate Charvarius Ward, and Franklin is now up to 74 total tackles (38 solo), including 2.0 sacks, while also adding a forced fumble over 11 games this year.

Team-high 10 tackles in OT win
Franklin tallied 10 tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Colts' 31-25 overtime win over the Falcons on Sunday.
Impact
Franklin saved his biggest play of Sunday's game for last after sacking Michael Penix for a 12-yard loss in overtime, which forced the Falcons to punt on the next play. Franklin led the NFL with 173 combined tackles in 2024, but Sunday marked just the first time this season that the veteran linebacker tallied double-digit stops. The eight-year pro is up to 60 tackles (31 solo), including 2.0 sacks, and four pass defenses through 10 regular-season games.

Disappointing season continues
Franklin recorded two tackles (zero solo) in Sunday's 38-14 win over the Titans.
Impact
Franklin was among many Colts' defensive starters to see their snap rate cut due to the game script. He logged a season-low in tackles as a result. While this result was largely out of his control, Franklin has been among the most disappointing IDP options around the league halfway through the campaign.

Five stops in Week 7 win
Franklin finished Sunday's 38-24 win over the Chargers with five tackles (two solo) and one pass defense.
Impact
Franklin played every single defensive snap for a second consecutive game, and the veteran linebacker has tallied at least five tackles in six consecutive contests. He is up to 42 total tackles through seven regular-season games, which puts him on pace to reach 100-plus tackles for a fourth consecutive season, though he is unlikely to match his total from the 2024 season (173 tackles across 17 regular-season games).
