Bears sign John Franklin III to their practice squad
After releasing defensive back Jonathon Mincy from practice squad yesterday, the Chicago Bears are adding defensive back John Franklin III to take his place today.
Franklin was a member of the Bears offseason roster and was a part of their final cut-downs on September 1. The 2018 undrafted free agent had a winding road throughout his collegiate career, which started at Florida State University from 2013 to 2014, before landing at East Mississippi Community College for a year. He then attended Auburn University in 2016, and he finally landed at Florida Atlantic University in 2017. He played quarterback for most of his career, but ended up as a wide receiver for FAU last season.
