The Feleipe Franks era coming to an end in Atlanta? Dang. Noticed yesterday he was working through a right foot/ankle twist after a special teams drills. Tough break for a guy who was well-liked in Atlanta. Along with both back up linemen who were carted off the field yesterday. https://t.co/hzLL9vsiWi
