    Coach Mike Smith said Dominique Franks and Harry Douglas are candidates to replace Eric Weems as the Falcons’ punt returner.
    Weems, rated a top-five returner by Pro Football Focus three years in a row, signed with Chicago in March. Douglas’ priority is manning the slot on offense, but that’s not an every-down job. He hasn’t returned a punt, however, since 2008. Franks is buried on the cornerback depth chart and returned just one punt in 2011.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Dominique Franks is set to start at left corner with Brent Grimes (knee) sidelined.
    In the nickel package, Franks will move to the slot and Chris Owens will come on at left corner. Kelvin Hayden (toe) is very doubtful for Sunday’s game against the Texans. The way to attack the Falcons will continue to be through the air, although they get to face T.J. Yates and Blaine Gabbert in two of the next three weeks.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Falcons CB Dominique Franks “quietly turned some heads late in the season,” according to the team’s official website.
    The website advises to “keep your eye on” Franks in 2012 after he closed out the season with four passes defensed in four starts as Brent Grimes’ injury fill-in. New coordinator Mike Nolan plans to get more aggressive in the secondary, suiting Franks’ strengths as a press-man corner.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Free agent CB Dominique Franks worked out for the Chiefs and Steelers.
    Franks has also worked out for the Dolphins since his release from the Falcons. The only thing preventing Franks from finding a new home before Week 1 could be the fact that contracts signed before Sunday must be guaranteed for the entire season. Franks should be employed this time next week.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Falcons released or waived CB Dominique Franks, WR Drew Davis, LB Pat Schiller, LB Rico Council, C Tyler Horn, T Bryce Harris, TE LaMark Brown, LB Spencer Adkins, LB Jerrell Harris, WR Marcus Jackson, CB Marty Markett, DT Micanor Regis, RB Dmitri Nance, WR James Rodgers, CB Peyton Thompson, OG Andrew Jackson, FB Mike Cox, LS Joe Zelenka, S Suaesi Tuimaunei and DL Conrad Obi.
    New defensive coordinator Mike Nolan is putting his stamp on the defense. Franks started four games last year, recording two interceptions. They’ll go forward with an exciting corner trio of Brent Grimes, Dunta Robinson and Asante Samuel.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Free agent CB Dominique Franks visited the Dolphins.
    It appears Franks left without a contract, but he’d be a logical signing for a team rebuilding its secondary from the ground up. Franks appeared in 14 games (four starts) for the Falcons last season, making 15 tackles and two picks.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Falcons CB Dominique Franks is in the mix to replace Eric Weems as the primary kick returner.
    Despite emerging as a quality fill-in for Brent Grimes down the stretch, Franks will be pushed into the dime role on defense this year. He’s battling Harry Douglas and Jacquizz Rodgers’ brother, James, for punt-returner duties. RB Antone Smith appears to be the early favorite on kickoff returns.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Falcons re-signed CB Dominique Franks.
    Franks was waived by the Falcons at final cuts and proceeded to work out for the Chiefs, Dolphins and Steelers. He ends up back in Atlanta as a potential returner and corner depth.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Ravens signed CB Dominique Franks.
    Franks appeared in all 16 games for the Falcons last season, but was limited to 13 snaps on defense. Going on 27, he’ll try to crack the Ravens’ 53-man roster as a core special teamer, but is likely just a camp body.
  • FA Defensive Back #32
    Oklahoma CB Dominique Franks ran a 4.47 forty-yard dash at the Sooners’ Pro Day Tuesday.
    The time is an improvement from the Combine, where Franks disappointed with unofficial forties of 4.52 and 4.57. Franks’ time was the fastest of any player at the Pro Day workout. He measured in at 5'11/194 before the drills.
