| Our view: Turner has not ruled himself out of the contest this week against the Giants, but it's unlikely he'll play in Week 11. With Turner out the Falcons would look to Jason Snelling as their main ball carrier. |

D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to practice Thursday, Nov. 19, after missing the last four games with an injured hip flexor.
| Our view: Jason Snelling is set to be the feature back if Michael Turner can't play. Norwood is a more explosive player, and the Falcons could use him as a change of pace/receiving back to spell Snelling. |

Falcons | Snelling could start in Week 11 Mon Nov 16, 05:02 PM
ESPN.com reports Atlanta Falcons RB Jason Snelling could start in Week 11 if RB Michael Turner (ankle) is unable to play.
| Our view: Snelling, the versatile back from Virginia, has improved his game each and every year he's been in the pros. He runs hard, and will be an adequate fill in if Turner misses playing time. Snelling doesn't have the same big play ability of Turner, and this move could put more pressure on Matt Ryan and the passing game. |

Falcons | Turner has high ankle sprain Mon Nov 16, 03:07 PM
FOXSports.com's Jay Glazer reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.
| Our view: The Falcons are optimistic Turner won't be out as long as high ankle sprains usually keep a player out. In Turner's absence we should see more of Jason Snelling as the Falcons feature runner. The Falcons could re-sign Aaron Stecker for depth while Turner is out. |

Falcons | Could consider re-signing Stecker Mon Nov 16, 10:22 AM
Chris Mortensen, of ESPN, reports via Twitter that the Atlanta Falcons may consider re-signing RB Aaron Stecker following the injury to RB Michael Turner (ankle) in Week 10.
| Our view: We don't know if Turner has a dreaded high ankle sprain yet. If he does the injury could linger for the rest of the season. He was able to walk off the field under his own power, and we'll know more about the extent of the injury soon. |

Chris Mortensen, of ESPN, reports via Twitter that the Atlanta Falcons are not expected to sign free-agent RB Larry Johnson (Chiefs) despite concern over the injury to RB Michael Turner (ankle).
| Our view: With so many running backs going down yesterday it has opened the door for Larry Johnson. It looks like Atlanta has quickly squelched any rumors that they might be interested in Johnson. |

Falcons | Turner to undergo more tests Monday Mon Nov 16, 02:12 AM
D. Orlando Ledbetter, of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) will have a test Monday, Nov. 16, to reveal the extent of the ankle injury he suffered Week 10. Turner said, "I'm assuming that it's a (MRI)." The team has not given Turner any idea of how much time he may miss. Turner added, "They wouldn't say (anything) right now. I'm just going to keep an open mind. It's an ankle sprain. We'll take it from there and just do what we can do."
| Our view: Fantasy owners were thinking "what might have been" after Turner racked up over 100 yards on less than 10 carries on Sunday. He was set to have another monster game, but now will have to wait to return to the field. If it's a high ankle sprain he may miss a game or two. However, Turner is a tough competitor and with low career miles he may get back on the field quicker than anyone expects. |

The Associated Press reports Atlanta Falcons RB Michael Turner (ankle) rushed for 111 yards on nine carries before leaving the team's Week 10 game early because of an ankle injury.
| Our view: Turner was well on his way to another very productive day before the ankle injury. Jason Snelling picked up where Turner left off and will be a hot pickup off the wire this week if Turner's injury proves significant. |
