News

  • Just one offensive snap in Week 14

    Franks went without a target while playing one of the Panthers' 71 snaps on offense in Sunday's 22-16 loss to the Eagles.

    Analysis: The former collegiate quarterback has settled into a full-time role at tight end at the NFL level, but Franks has yet to carve out much of a role for Carolina even with both Ja'Tavion Sanders and Tommy Tremble having missed time in recent weeks. Both players were available for Sunday's game, resulting in Franks seeing his lowest snap count on offense since Week 10.

  • Good to go for Week 10

    Franks (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants and is expected to play.

    Analysis: Franks practiced fully all week and is good to go for Sunday, though it's unclear if he'll be active with Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas healthy and Tommy Tremble (back) practicing fully Friday despite being listed as questionable. Franks is off the fantasy radar.

  • Practicing at full speed

    Franks (concussion) was a full participant at practice Thursday.

    Analysis: Franks hasn't officially been cleared from concussion protocol yet, but his activity at practice is a good sign for his potential availability for Week 10. If he can clear concussion protocol by Friday, there's a good chance he'd avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

  • Won't play Sunday

    Franks (concussion) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Saints.

    Analysis: Franks was unable to practice all week after sustaining a concussion in the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos, so it's no surprise he won't suit up for Sunday's divisional matchup. With Franks sidelined in Week 9, Carolina's tight end room will likely consist of Tommy Tremble (back), Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas.

  • DNP on Thursday

    Franks (concussion) did not participate in Thursday's practice.

    Analysis: Franks was diagnosed with a concussion during the Panthers' Week 8 loss to the Broncos. He has been unable to practice this week, and even if he were to return Friday in a limited capacity, he appears to be a long shot to play against the Saints on Sunday. With Tommy Tremble working through a back injury, Ja'Tavion Sanders and Ian Thomas may be the only healthy tight ends on the active roster ahead of Sunday's game, which could lead to Carolina elevating Stephen Sullivan or Jordan Matthews from…read more

  • Won't return vs. Denver

    Franks (concussion) has been ruled out for the rest of Sunday's game against the Broncos, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks will remain in the league's concussion protocols, and he'll need to gain clearance before returning to regular-season action. His practice participation leading up to the Panthers' Week 9 game against New Orleans on Sunday, Nov. 3 will be worth monitoring.

  • Exits with head injury

    Franks (head) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against Denver, Sheena Quick of Fox Sports Radio 1340 reports.

    Analysis: Franks is being evaluated for a concussion after getting hit in the head while on punt coverage. He's been one of the Panthers' best special-teams players this season, but in order to return, he will need to pass the league's concussion protocols.

  • Signed off practice squad

    The Panthers signed Franks to the 53-man roster from the practice squad Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks only played one offensive snap during Sunday's 26-3 loss to the Chargers due to starting tight end Tommy Tremble ultimately being active. With Ian Thomas (calf) on IR until early October at the earliest, and Jordan Matthews being released, Franks will get a chance to continue holding down a depth role for Carolina.

  • Going back to practice squad

    Franks reverted to Carolina's practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

    Analysis: Franks played just one offensive snap during Sunday's 26-3 loss versus the Chargers. With Tommy Tremble presumably close to being back to full strength, it's hard to imagine Franks earning a significant share of the Panthers' tight-end snaps any time soon.

  • Elevated to face Chargers

    The Panthers elevated Franks from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, ahead of Sunday's matchup against Los Angeles.

    Analysis: Franks was cut by Carolina on Monday before being re-signed to the practice squad, and he'll now suit up for the team Week 2. With Tommy Tremble (hamstring) listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, the Panthers were in need of additional depth at the tight end position.

  • Returns to Carolina

    Franks signed with the Panthers' practice squad Wednesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks was signed to the team's active roster from their practice squad Saturday ahead of their season-opening loss to the Saints, before being waived Monday. The 26-year-old could find himself back on the active roster again for a Week 2 matchup with the Chargers if Tommy Tremble (hamstring) is still not ready to return.

  • Out in Carolina

    The Panthers waived Franks on Monday, Darin Gant of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks was added to Carolina's active roster Saturday to ensure depth at tight end with both Ian Thomas (calf) and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) missing Week 1, but he has now been let go. The Arkansas product played 17 special-teams snaps and recovered a muffed punt late in Sunday's contest.

  • Signed to active roster

    The Panthers signed Franks to the active roster Saturday, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Franks was added to Carolina's practice squad after making the initial 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. With Ian Thomas (calf) on the IR and Tommy Tremble (hamstring) ruled out for Week 1, Franks was added to the active roster to provide the Panthers additional depth at tight end behind Ja'Tavion Sanders, Jordan Matthews and Messiah Swinson.

  • Added to Panthers' taxi squad

    Carolina signed Franks to the practice squad Thursday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Franks spent all of 2023 on the Falcons' injured reserve due to an undisclosed injury designation. He signed with the Panthers in late July to compete for a depth tight-end spot on the 53-man roster, but he ultimately came up short after finishing the preseason with three catches (on four targets) for 12 yards. Both Tommy Tremble (hamstring) and Ian Thomas (calf) are dealing with injuries ahead of Week 1, and if either of them cannot suit up, Franks is a prime candidate to get elevated to the…read more

  • Waived by Carolina

    The Panthers waived Franks on Tuesday.

    Analysis: Franks spent roughly one month in Carolina. He spent 2023 on the Falcons' injured reserve list after dressing for 20 games for the team across the 2021 and 2022 campaigns. The converted quarterback has been trying to make it as a tight end.

  • Signed by Carolina

    The Panthers signed Franks on Friday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks had a tryout with Carolina on Monday, and he impressed the organization enough to get a contract. The 26-year-old spent the previous three seasons with Atlanta, though he was on injured reserve all of last year due to an undisclosed issue. Franks is presumably now healthy, and he'll look to make a positive impression in training camp with the aim of competing for a roster spot.

  • Moves to IR

    Franks (undisclosed) reverted to the Falcons' injured reserve Friday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Analysis: Franks was waived with an undisclosed injury designation Thursday, but he went unclaimed and reverted to Atlanta's IR on Friday. The quarterback-turned-tight-end will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he can reach an injury settlement with the Falcons.

  • Gets cut loose

    Franks (undisclosed) was waived by Atlanta with an injury designation Thursday.

    Analysis: Franks appeared in 11 games for the Falcons last season and was working to earn a depth role in the team's tight-end corps during training camp. Assuming he is able to clear waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve and be forced to miss the 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.

  • Draws two targets in 2022

    Franks didn't haul in either of his two targets across 11 appearances during the 2022 campaign.

    Analysis: Franks began working as a tight end last offseason and was reportedly impressive during training camp at his new position. However, he ultimately failed to carve out a solid role, even with Kyle Pitts (knee) sidelined to end the year. Franks saw more than five offensive snaps on one occasion this season (Week 5 against Tampa Bay) and failed to haul in either of his targets across 27 snaps during that contest. He's under contract for one more year, and a full offseason will presumably be…read more

    Franks (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Franks had been dealing with a concussion but he was able to clear protocols Friday, and shed his injury designation. However, he'll now have to watch from the sidelines Sunday.

    Franks (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Analysis: Franks will return to the field after a one-game absence while recovering from a concussion he suffered in Week 16 versus the Ravens. The 25-year-old has operated as a depth option at both quarterback and tight end this season while playing the majority of his snaps on special teams.

  • Ruled out with concussion

    Franks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Analysis: Franks suffered a concussion in Week 16 versus the Ravens, and he will now be forced to miss at least one contest while recovering from the head injury. In his absence, Logan Woodside will likely serve as the only reserve option at quarterback behind Desmond Ridder, while there will be little-to-no impact on the tight end spot.

  • Won't return versus Baltimore

    Franks (concussion) has been downgraded to out for the remainder of Saturday's game against the Ravens, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks was evaluated for a concussion during the second half, and it now appears that he's set to enter protocols following Saturday's game. The 25-year-old will now have a slightly longer week to recover before Atlanta's next game versus Arizona on Sunday, Jan. 1.

    Franks is questionable to return to Saturday's game versus Baltimore while being evaluated for a concussion, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Franks has not recorded a target since Week 5 versus Tampa Bay, and he's primarily played on special teams over his 10 games this season. His absence will leave Atlanta with three available tight ends for the time being.

  • Good to go for Week 12

    Franks (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against Washington, Tori McElhaney on the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, but he'll be back in the mix Sunday. The undrafted product out of Arkansas transitioned to tight end this offseason, but he's played more than five offensive snaps in only one game this season, failing to haul in two targets across 27 snaps against Tampa Bay in Week 5. However, Franks could see an increased role moving forward after the Falcons placed Kyle Pitts (knee) on IR this week.

  • Week 12 status up in the air

    Franks (calf) is questionable to play Sunday against the Commanders, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks has missed both of Atlanta's last two games as a result of a calf issue, but following limited sessions in each practice this week, the 24-year-old has a shot to return this weekend versus Washington. With fellow tight ends Kyle Pitts (knee) and John FitzPatrick (undisclosed) both currently on injured reserve, Franks could see an uptick in usage alongside Parker Hesse, MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser.

  • Could get chance with Pitts out

    Franks (calf) may be among the players asked to have a larger role in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee), Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: The undrafted quarterback out of Arkansas was moved to tight end this offseason and has played more than five offensive snaps only once this season, logging 27 in Week 5. Franks failed to haul in either of his targets during that contest and has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, but once healthy, he could see that type of snap share again with Pitts on IR. However, he's behind Parker Hesse, MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser on the Falcons' depth chart.

    Franks (calf) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 11 matchup with the Bears, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official website reports.

    Analysis: Franks will miss a second consecutive game in Week 11 as he continues to nurse a calf issue. His absence doesn't carry much of an impact on the Falcons' offensive game plan, and he'll now set his sights on being ready for Week 12 versus the Commanders.

    Franks (calf) has been ruled out for Thursday's matchup against Carolina, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Franks was knocked out of the Falcons' Week 9 loss to the Chargers due to a calf injury and wasn't able to practice ahead of Thursday's matchup, so his lack of availability isn't surprising. The reserve tight end has played double-digit offensive snaps just once this season (Week 5), so his absence shouldn't impact Atlanta's offense.

  • Sees career-high 30 offensive snaps

    With Kyle Pitts (hamstring) sidelined, Franks saw a career-high 30 offensive snaps during Sunday's 21-15 loss to Tampa Bay but failed to haul in either of his two targets.

    Analysis: Franks transitioned from quarterback to tight end this offseason and has slowly developed into a trustworthy option for the Falcons. With Pitts sidelined, he saw the second-most offensive snaps among Atlanta's tight ends and garnered one more target than Anthony Firkser and Parker Hesse. However, both of Franks' pass-catching opportunities came on downfield shots and neither of them were close to being completed. Regardless, Franks' development is certainly worth monitoring, especially if Pitts…read more

  • Earns spot on initial roster

    Franks made the Falcons' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Jeff Schultz of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Franks transitioned to tight end this offseason and has made the team's initial 53-man roster as the No. 3 QB and No. 3 TE. He likely will only be an emergency option at quarterback, but it's possible he carves out a role as a depth tight end behind Kyle Pitts and Parker Hesse. Franks admitted learning how to block and get into a three-point stance was a struggle, but the pass-catching aspect of his new role has come naturally. As a rookie last year, the undrafted athlete out of Arkansas ran…read more

    Franks is operating primarily as a tight end during training camp, but he remains mixed in as an emergency quarterback, D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

    Analysis: Franks admits that the toughest challenge of switching positions has been learning how to block and get into a three-point stance, but the pass-catching aspect of his new role has come naturally. The 6-foot-6 athlete certainly has the size and athleticism to excel as a receiver, which is evident in his strong showing in Atlanta's 1-on-1s during training camp, but it remains unclear how big of a role he'll have in the regular season. The uber-talented Kyle Pitts functions more like a wide…read more

  • Getting reps at tight end

    Franks was wearing a white jersey and working as a tight end instead of as a quarterback during individual periods Friday, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: It's unclear whether this is a permanent move, but it would make sense after Atlanta signed Marcus Mariota in March and added Desmond Ridder in the third round of this year's draft. Franks has the size to play tight end (6-foot-6, 234 lbs.), and he ran a 4.59 40-yard dash at his pro day, so he's clearly not lacking for athleticism. The uber-talented 21-year-old Kyle Pitts functions more like a wide receiver than a traditional tight end, so if the move is permanent, Franks would likely compete…read more

    Franks is active for Sunday's game against the Saints and will serve as the backup quarterback, Tori McElhaney of the Falcons' official site reports.

    Analysis: Franks was inactive in Week 17, likely because he was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 just one day before the game. He'll retake the backup role for the season finale, with Josh Rosen (coach's decision) instead not dressing for the matchup.

    Franks was activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list Saturday.

    Analysis: Franks needed only four days to be activated off the reserve/COVID-19 list. The undrafted free agent has been the primary backup to Matt Ryan for the majority of the season and figures to return to that role now that he's healthy.

    Analysis: 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.

  • Nabs roster spot

    Franks earned a spot on the Falcons' initial 53-man roster, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: The rookie UDFA out of Arkansas saw action in all three preseason contests and completed 11 of 26 passes for 128 yards with zero touchdowns and one interception. Franks benefitted from the injury to AJ McCarron (knee), who suffered a season-ending injury during the second exhibition contest. Atlanta recently signed Josh Rosen and will open the season with both quarterbacks as backup options for starter Matt Ryan, barring another acquisition.
