Franklin (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's Week 1 matchup against the Seahawks.
The rookie fourth-round pick will have to wait until at least Week 2 against the Steelers to make his NFL debut. Franklin reportedly made good progress during training camp and the preseason, but he enters his first professional campaign behind Courtland Sutton, Josh Reynolds, Marvin Mims and Devaughn Vele in the wideout pecking order.
