Colts LB Zaire Franklin (ankle) returned to practice on Sunday.

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports that Franklin is still rehabbing from the left ankle surgery he underwent this offseason, but he successfully participated in 7-on-7 drills for the first time in this year’s training camp on Sunday. This is great news for the Colts’ defense. Franklin has totaled 115-plus tackles in each of the last three seasons. Last year, he banked career highs in both quarterback pressures (15) and sacks (four).
