Franks was waived with an undisclosed injury designation Thursday, but he went unclaimed and reverted to Atlanta's IR on Friday. The quarterback-turned-tight-end will now be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he can reach an injury settlement with the Falcons.

Franks (undisclosed) was waived by Atlanta with an injury designation Thursday.
Franks appeared in 11 games for the Falcons last season and was working to earn a depth role in the team's tight-end corps during training camp. Assuming he is able to clear waivers, he'll revert to injured reserve and be forced to miss the 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement with the team.
Draws two targets in 2022
Published: 2023-01-11
Franks didn't haul in either of his two targets across 11 appearances during the 2022 campaign.
Franks began working as a tight end last offseason and was reportedly impressive during training camp at his new position. However, he ultimately failed to carve out a solid role, even with Kyle Pitts (knee) sidelined to end the year. Franks saw more than five offensive snaps on one occasion this season (Week 5 against Tampa Bay) and failed to haul in either of his targets across 27 snaps during that contest. He's under contract for one more year, and a full offseason will presumably be beneficial for his development at tight end, though he likely has a long way to go before earning a consistent offensive role.
Won't play Sunday
Published: 2023-01-08
Franks (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Buccaneers, Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
Franks had been dealing with a concussion but he was able to clear protocols Friday, and shed his injury designation. However, he'll now have to watch from the sidelines Sunday.
Ready to go for season finale
Published: 2023-01-06
Franks (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's contest against the Buccaneers, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official website reports.
Franks will return to the field after a one-game absence while recovering from a concussion he suffered in Week 16 versus the Ravens. The 25-year-old has operated as a depth option at both quarterback and tight end this season while playing the majority of his snaps on special teams.
Ruled out with concussion

Franks (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals, Scott Bair of the Falcons' official website reports.
Franks suffered a concussion in Week 16 versus the Ravens, and he will now be forced to miss at least one contest while recovering from the head injury. In his absence, Logan Woodside will likely serve as the only reserve option at quarterback behind Desmond Ridder, while there will be little-to-no impact on the tight end spot.
