Injury update: Franks likely will miss time
Tight end Bubba Franks may miss "a couple weeks" after spraining his right knee in Sunday's win over Washington, coach Mike McCarthy said at his press conference this afternoon.
Franks, who has missed practice time throughout the offseason and regular season with knee problems, did not return after limping off early in the fourth quarter Sunday. Team physician Dr. Pat McKenzie is performing more tests, said McCarthy, who indicated Ryan Krause likely would be elevated from the practice squad.
In other injury news from McCarthy ...
* CB Frank Walker suffered a knee injury Sunday and is being examined today.
* QB Brett Favre, who injured his "bad" ankle Sunday, was in for treatment today.
* DL Cullen Jenkins suffered a knee injury on a high-low hit Sunday and was getting scanned today, but McCarthy didn't think the injury was serious.
