Top Feleipe Franks News

  • Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Secures lone target

    Franks caught his only target for nine yards during Friday's 23-20 preseason loss to the Titans.

    Franks has started the first two preseason games. After playing only 10 total snaps (eight offense) and not recording a target in the opener, Franks played 41 total snaps (20 special teams) against the Titans and secured his lone target. Franks is battling with Teagan Quitoriano for the third, and likely final, tight end spot behind Kyle Pitts and Charlie Woerner.

  • Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Returns to Atlanta

    Franks signed a one-year deal with the Falcons on Thursday, Jordan Schultz of Fox Sports reports.

    The tight end caught one pass for 12 yards in 16 games with the Panthers in 2024, playing more on special teams (302 snaps) than offense (44 snaps). Franks spent 2023 on the Falcons' injured reserve list with an undisclosed issue but suited up for 20 combined games with the team the previous two seasons. He did not record a catch in either campaign.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: 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.

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: 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.

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Practicing at full speed

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

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Won't play Sunday

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

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: DNP on Thursday

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

    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 the practice squad.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: 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.

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Exits with head injury

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

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: 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.

    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.

  • Feleipe Franks: Going back to practice squad

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

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: 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.

    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.

  • Feleipe Franks: Returns to Carolina

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

    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.

  • Feleipe Franks: Out in Carolina

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

    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.

  • Panthers' Feleipe Franks: Signed to active roster

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

    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.
