Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Notches 7.5 sacks in 2025
Franklin-Myers recorded 25 tackles (12 solo), including 7.5 sacks, in 16 regular-season games with Denver in 2025.
Franklin-Myers' 7.5-sack total was a career high while also ranking third among all Broncos defenders in 2025. The veteran pass rusher's 25 total tackles accounted for his lowest total since his sophomore season as a member of the Jets, but his ability to disrupt opposing quarterbacks this season made him a key player in the Broncos' strong defensive unit. Franklin-Myers will become an unrestricted free agent this offseason, and the 29-year-old's impressive sack totals in recent years should garner interest from teams looking to bolster their pass rush for the 2026 season.

Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Tagged as questionable Week 18
Franklin-Myers (hip) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Zac Stevens of TheDNVR.com reports.
Franklin-Myers had his practice reps limited during Week 18 prep due to a hip issue, and his status for Sunday's game may not be known until the Broncos announce their list of inactive players approximately 90 minutes before the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Jordan Jackson, Eyioma Uwazurike and Malcolm Roach would be in line for more snaps on the Broncos' defensive line if Franklin-Myers is not cleared to play.

Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Working through hip injury
Franklin-Myers (hip) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Franklin-Myers may have picked up the injury during the Broncos' win over the Chiefs on Christmas Day, during which he played only 14 snaps (11 on defense, three on special teams) without recording a tackle. He'll have two more chances to log a full practice and likely avoid an injury tag for Sunday's regular-season finale against the Chargers.

Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Set to play vs. Chiefs
Franklin-Myers (back) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game versus Kansas City.
Franklin-Myers popped up on Denver's injury report Thursday with a back issue, but he was able to get back to practicing in full Friday and will suit up in Week 11. He's on pace for a career year as a pass rusher, and he'll be looking to keep up that momentum Sunday.

Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Working through back issue
Franklin-Myers (back) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
The back injury appears to be a new issue for the 2018 fourth-rounder, as he was omitted from Wednesday's injury report. The severity of the injury is unclear, but Friday's practice report should provide clarity on his chances of playing against the Chiefs on Sunday. Franklin-Myers' absence would result in more snaps at defensive end for Malcolm Roach, Jordan Jackson and rookie third-rounder Sai'vion Jones.

Broncos' John Franklin-Myers: Career-high 7.0 sacks in 2024
Franklin-Myers finished the 2024 regular season with 40 tackles (18 solo), including 7.0 sacks, across 17 games.
Franklin-Myers was traded by the Jets to the Broncos in late April in what was largely a salary dump for Gang Green. The 2018 fourth-round pick responded with a career-best 7.0 sacks and played a key role in the Broncos' league-leading 63.0 sacks in the regular season. Franklin-Myers, Zach Allen, Nik Bonitto and Jonathon Cooper will look to replicate their success in the 2025 campaign.
