Colts’ Zaire Franklin suffers back injury vs. Rams

Zaire Franklin suffered a back injury against the Rams.

UPDATE: Zaire Franklin returned to the game in the fourth quarter.


Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin suffered a back injury Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams and is questionable to return.

Franklin suffered the injury late in the third quarter on a run play in which he came up slowly with clear pain in his back. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, albeit, gingerly.

Before his injury, Franklin recorded six tackles (four solo). He was replaced by E.J. Speed.
