      The team would've done this earlier but when they gave Franklin the pen to sign the IR papers he fumbled it.

        Damn I missed this injury.

        What did Franklin do?

        Walk into a piece of furniture?

        Ohh shit... I must have blinked or was on my way to the fridge for a beer and missed this:

        Franklin suffered a concussion last week while returning the opening kickoff.

          Had to be an unpleasant choice for TT. I really doubt TT wants to finish the season with just 2 running backs.

              The backups to the backups are hurt now.

              Franklin did not impress me this year.

                This is the Packers, did you expect anything different?

                The NFL should just give us a 53-man practice squad so we might have enough players combined to get through a season.

                  He was bad in preseason, worthless on kick returns.

                  But ... he had that big 100 yard game were he looked like a contender.

                  I gotta believe he is better than the available options. Kuhn is no RB. Starks and Lacy get hurt a lot.

                    Wow, IR'd for a concussion? That seems pretty severe, did he have another one earlier this year? I don't remember it. I wonder if they just wanted the roster spot.

                      One report said "...concussion and neck injury..."

                        I have never seen so many injuries that I have never seen 'em happen. I mean, are these guys getting hurt while commuting to practice or what?

                          The radio broadcast announced Franklin being evaluated for a concussion just a few plays after the opening kickoff.

                            I dunno what to make of Franklin. His instincts appeared very good in the Cincy game, but he has a serious fumbling problem and struggled with pass protection. If it came down to him or Dajuan I'd take Dajuan every time.

                              Starks yes, but Lacy? He only missed games because that head hunter Merriweather speared him in the head.
