Full participant in practice
Franklin (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
Impact
Franklin opened the week as a DNP due to an ankle injury that he likely sustained during the Colts' Week 4 loss to the Rams. However, his ability to practice in full Thursday indicates that he is well on track to play in Sunday's home bout against the Raiders. Franklin has logged 22 tackles (10 solo) and three pass defenses through the first four games of the regular season.

Misses practice Wednesday
Franklin (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact
Franklin dealt with an ankle issue during the preseason but had yet to make an appearance on the injury report during the regular season. Franklin played all 75 defensive snaps in last Sunday's loss to the Rams, so it's unclear when he suffered the latest injury. The veteran linebacker has 22 tackles (10 solo) and three pass breakups through four contests.

Tallies seven tackles vs. LAR
Franklin registered seven tackles (one solo) and one pass defense during the Colts' 27-20 loss to the Rams on Sunday.
Impact
Franklin played every single defensive snap for the second time in four games, and he finished tied with Camryn Bynum for third most tackles on the Colts behind Nick Cross (14) and DeForest Buckner (eight). Franklin is up to 22 total tackles through four games and is on track to record a fourth consecutive 100-tackle season, though he's well behind pace to match his total from 2024 (173).

Co-leads team in stops Week 3
Franklin racked up seven tackles (four solo) and defensed a pass Sunday in a 41-20 win against Tennessee.
Impact
Franklin and Nick Cross tied for the team lead with seven stops apiece Sunday. Franklin finished with a season-high mark in tackles, though the seven stops would have tied his second-lowest mark in any game last year. The expectations are high for Franklin after he led the NFL with 173 tackles last season, so from a fantasy perspective his 16 stops through three games is a bit of a letdown.

Underwhelms in Week 2
Franklin recorded five total tackles (three solo) and one pass defended in Sunday's 29-28 win over the Broncos.
Impact
Franklin, who averaged nearly 10.4 total tackles per game from 2022 to 2024, has tallied just nine stops through his first two contests this season. The Syracuse product was on the field for every defensive snap in the Colts' Week 2 win but finished fifth on the team in total tackles. He will look to find his usual high-volume production when the Colts travel to Tennessee in Week 3.
