John Franklin-Myers, Baron Browning Injured On Sunday

Denver Broncos defensive end John Franklin-Myers (concussion) was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's meeting with the Steelers. Meanwhile, linebacker Baron Browning (foot) is questionable to return. Franklin-Myers had 19.5 career sacks before he was traded by the Jets this offseason. At the same time, Browning is also a potent pass-rusher, entering the 2024-25 campaign by amassing 9.5 sacks in the previous two seasons. With the Broncos defense already struggling, these injuries aren't good news for containing quarterback Justin Fields and the rest of the Steelers offense for the rest of the game.

Broncos Acquire John Franklin-Myers From Jets

The Denver Broncos acquired defensive end John Franklin-Myers from the New York Jets on Saturday in exchange for a sixth-round pick in 2026, according to sources. It's the second trade these two teams have pulled off in the last week, with the Jets also sending former first-round quarterback Zach Wilson to Denver. Franklin-Myers, a former fourth-rounder by the Los Angeles Rams in 2018 out of Stephen F. Austin, started 52 games for the Jets in the last four seasons and racked up 56 solo tackles, 17.5 sacks, 21 tackles for loss, 61 QB hits, one interception, seven passes defended, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in that span. The 27-year-old should immediately become a starting edge rusher for the Broncos in 2024, but he won't be on the IDP fantasy radar with a career-high six-sack season coming back in 2021.

John Franklin-Myers Active For Week 16

New York Jets defensive end John-Franklin-Myers (hip) is active for the upcoming Week 16 matchup the Washington Commanders. Franklin-Myers was unable to practice all week due to a lingering hip issues. Despite that, the 27-year-old will suit up for this game and is expected to play his normal role. He has three sacks and two tackles for loss in 14 games this season. His presence will be a slight upgrade to this Jets defense.

Jets, John Franklin-Myers Reach Contract Extension

The New York Jets and defensive end John Franklin-Myers agreed to an undisclosed four-year contract extension on Thursday, according to sources. He will now be under contract with the team through the 2025 season. Franklin-Myers has 15 tackles (seven solo), five quarterback hits, a forced fumble and three sacks in four starts this season in his third year in the NFL. In his first two seasons with the Jets, the 25-year-old had 14 solo tackles, 13 QB hits, three fumble recoveries and five sacks in 31 games (two starts). Franklin-Myers has seen at least 63 percent of the defensive snaps in each game so far this season, so he's clearly taken on a much bigger role in 2021.
