So according to the comments from Canales the other day there is 1 Team Captain, 1 O Captain, 1 D Captain, and a rotating captain. So my guess is:

Shaq- Team Captain

Brown- D Captain

Bryce- O Captain

Franklin- Rotating

What exactly is a rotating captain?

It won't be Franklin every week, the 4th captain will rotate through the roster on a weekly basis. It's supposedly going to usually be a special teams person (Gunner, returner, kicker, punter, whatever)

That’s an interesting idea.  Do other teams do that?

I recall RR having a special captain a few weeks. Like if the player was miss-treated by opponent that week. Ron made them a captain for that week. Its a mind games deal.

I don't recall Franklin's injury.  Will he back sometime this year or is he out for the year?
