Zaire Franklin

Colts head coach Shane Steichen told reporters that LB Zaire Franklin underwent offseason ankle surgery.

Steichen is “hopeful” Franklin will be available for training camp in July. The 28-year-old appeared on the Week 10 injury report with an ankle issue last season but managed to suit up for all 18 games. With the connective tissue now, hopefully, cleaned up, Franklin will attempt to record his fourth straight 100-plus-tackle season. His availability in July will tell us if he’s heading in the right direction.
