Sam Franklin

Panthers S Sam Franklin suffered a broken foot and is out indefinitely.

Franklin is a special teams ace who re-signed with the Panthers this offseason. Head coach Dave Canales called the loss of Franking “a big hit” due to the value he’s provided on special teams over the years. There’s a belief that Franklin will return at some point in the season, but it sounds like this will be the last we hear from him in training camp. We’ll likely know more about the severity of his injury and how long he’s expected to be out in the coming days.
