Feleipe Franks: Gets cut loose
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.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Draws two targets in 2022
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.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Ready to go for season finale
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.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: 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.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Good to go for Week 12
Franks (calf) is active for Sunday's matchup against Washington, Tori McElhaney on the Falcons' official site reports.
Franks has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, but he'll be back in the mix Sunday. The undrafted product out of Arkansas transitioned to tight end this offseason, but he's played more than five offensive snaps in only one game this season, failing to haul in two targets across 27 snaps against Tampa Bay in Week 5. However, Franks could see an increased role moving forward after the Falcons placed Kyle Pitts (knee) on IR this week.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Week 12 status up in the air
Franks (calf) is questionable to play Sunday against the Commanders, Scott Bair of the team's official site reports.
Franks has missed both of Atlanta's last two games as a result of a calf issue, but following limited sessions in each practice this week, the 24-year-old has a shot to return this weekend versus Washington. With fellow tight ends Kyle Pitts (knee) and John FitzPatrick (undisclosed) both currently on injured reserve, Franks could see an uptick in usage alongside Parker Hesse, MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser.

Falcons' Feleipe Franks: Could get chance with Pitts out
Franks (calf) may be among the players asked to have a larger role in the absence of Kyle Pitts (knee), Michael Rothstein of ESPN.com reports.
The undrafted quarterback out of Arkansas was moved to tight end this offseason and has played more than five offensive snaps only once this season, logging 27 in Week 5. Franks failed to haul in either of his targets during that contest and has missed back-to-back games due to a calf injury, but once healthy, he could see that type of snap share with Pitts on IR. However, he's currently behind Parker Hesse, MyCole Pruitt and Anthony Firkser on the Falcons' depth chart.
