Franklin discussed his team’s progress from week one through the midway point of week two. The biggest focus was on team health with veterans who missed week one. Zuriah Fisher was at practice, and Franklin outlined the plan for him this week.

Yeah, I would still think, though, even in this game, even if he wants to, we’ll probably only play him a limited amount of reps. But right now, he’s a go.”

He also discussed several other topics, including the backup running back competition and more.
