Franklin was disciplined by the league for allegedly spitting at an opponent late in the fourth quarter of the Bills' Week 6 win over the Raiders. The decision has been altered to a fine, and with the Bills on a bye, the Temple product will be available for Week 8 against the Ravens on Sunday, Nov. 1.
