Franklin is looking "noticeably less bulky" after injuries forced him to miss six games last season, Tom Krasovic of the San Diego Union-Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Franklin, who signed a five-year, $36 million deal with the Chargers last offseason, put together a disappointing campaign in 2015, missing six games due to variety of ailments including ankle and knee injuries. His health will remain a talking point throughout training camp, as he's expected to start at left guard this season.

Franklin is believed to have suffered an MCL injury during Sunday's game against the Raiders, NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reports.
EDGE Analysis
Franklin will reportedly undergo an MRI on Monday to further examine his knee injury. After signing a five-year, $36 million contract with the Chargers in the offseason, Franklin represents a very important member of San Diego's offensive line.

Franklin agreed to a five-year contract with the Chargers on Tuesday. Franklin played tackle for three seasons before switching to guard in his final year in Denver, and he will remain at his new position moving forward. The Chargers are counting on Franklin providing a boost to a rushing attack that finished 30th out of 32 teams a season ago.

Franklin is slated to sign with the Chargers, ESPN.com reports. Per the report, Franklin's deal is expected to be worth close to $36.5 million, with $20 million guaranteed. With the Chargers, the versatile Franklin -- who can play both tackle and guard -- will be reunited with his former offensive coordinator in Denver, Mike McCoy, who is now San Diego's head coach.

Broncos OL Orlando Franklin announced on Twitter that he has been moved from right tackle to left guard. Franklin spent the last three seasons as Denver's right tackle, showing run-blocking prowess but struggling on an island. Left guard is a better fit for his skill set. We'd project the Broncos' pre-draft offensive line as follows: LT Ryan Clady, LG Franklin, C Manuel Ramirez, RG Louis Vasquez, RT Chris Clark.

Broncos RT Orlando Franklin is a candidate to move to left guard if free agent Zane Beadles walks. With an eye on re-signing Demaryius Thomas, Julius Thomas and Von Miller before 2015, the Broncos aren't expected to pony up the cash for Beadles. If Franklin moves inside, they'll have a formidable power due up the middle with Louis Vasquez -- but will also have a hole at right tackle. Chris Clark and Vinston Painter would be question marks at that spot. As we saw in the Super Bowl, Peyton Manning is a mere mortal without quality protection.

Broncos RT Orlando Franklin suffered knee and ankle sprains in Sunday's win. We already knew about the knee sprain, but the ankle injury is a new one. It makes Franklin extremely unlikely to suit up for Sunday's game against the Colts. G Louis Vasquez took Franklin's place in the lineup Sunday, with Chris Kuper coming in at guard.

Broncos RT Orlando Franklin left Sunday's Week 6 game against the Jaguars on crutches following a left knee injury. Keep in mind the Broncos are already without LT Ryan Clady for the season. So they're now minus both starting offensive tackles entering a Week 7 date with the Colts. On Sunday, Denver replaced Franklin at right tackle with usual guard Louis Vasquez, and Chris Kuper entered the lineup to take Vasquez's place.
