Broncos WR Troy Franklin adds to Bo Nix injury woes for AFC Championship vs. Patriots

Only one home win stands between the Denver Broncos and a trip to the Super Bowl, but it won’t be easy for Sean Payton to lead a shorthanded team through the AFC Championship Game. Of course, the quarterback situation in Denver has gotten a lot of attention after Bo Nix suffered a fractured ankle in the Divisional Round, thrusting Jarrett Stidham into the spotlight.

However, one of Denver’s top weapons won’t be out there catching passes for Stidham on Sunday when the Broncos take on the New England Patriots in the AFC Championship Game. Wide receiver Troy Franklin is officially inactive due to a hamstring injury, the team announced before the game.

Franklin was the Broncos’ second-leading receiver during the regular season with 709 yards and six touchdowns on 65 catches. Look for Marvin Mims Jr. and Pat Bryant to get a lot of work at receiver with Franklin out of the lineup.
