News and Notes
Nov 19 Turner (ankle) did not participate in Thursday's practice, the Falcons' official site reports.

Recommendation: Turner refuses to rule himself out for Sunday's game against the Giants, but the report adds that there is no timetable for his return. Given that he is dealing with a high ankle sprain, Turner would need to look pretty spry Friday to be considered for any action this weekend. He's iffy, at best, so Jason Snelling (who may also be joined by Jerious Norwood) appears to be in line for an expanded workload this week.

Nov 17 RB Michael Turner could miss anywhere from four to six weeks with a high right ankle sprain suffered Sunday, but the Falcons are hoping he's a quick healer. Coach Mike Smith is confident that he will play again in 2009. Yahoo! Sports

Nov 16 Turner had nine carries for 111 yards before leaving with a sprained right ankle in the Falcons' 28-19 loss to Carolina on Sunday.

Advice: It is unclear whether Turner will play next Sunday against the Giants. Jason Snelling could replace him.
