Indianapolis Colts linebacker Zaire Franklin suffered a back injury Sunday against the Los Angeles Rams and is questionable to return.
Franklin suffered the injury late in the third quarter on a run play in which he came up slowly with clear pain in his back. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, albeit, gingerly.
