Colts LB Zaire Franklin downgraded to doubtful vs. Panthers

Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin was downgraded to doubtful for Sunday's game against the host Carolina Panthers.

Franklin, who leads the NFL with 102 tackles this season, had been listed as questionable with a knee injury that prevented him from participating in practice this week.

Franklin, 27, also has 1.5 sacks and a forced fumble in eight games (all starts) this season. He has played in 90 consecutive games since being selected by the Colts in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft.

Also on Saturday, Indianapolis elevated cornerback Chris Lammons from the practice squad for Sunday's game.

Lammons, 27, recorded one tackle in one game this season with the Colts.
