He was running great until he got hurt. He didn't need help walking off the field when the injury happened. I didn't even know he got hurt until he didn't come back in, and the commentators said he was being looked at on the sideline. On the replay it showed he turned his ankle some when being tackled. Hopefully his sprain isn't bad. Sucks for any player to get hurt.

From Rotoworld:
Michael Turner will undergo an MRI Monday on his injured right ankle.
Turner was in a boot after Sunday's loss, and the Atlanta Journal-Constitution says the injury "could be serious." The ankle doesn't appear to be broken, but there were initial indications that Turner may have a high ankle sprain. He did not return in the second half, which is never a good sign. Owners should prepare to be without Turner for at least one week. Nov. 15 - 6:25 pm et

Snelling or Norwood?

####. Snelling looks good, but he's not Turner. Won't even begin to speculate until later in the week.

This sucks, but at least i already had Snelling on my roster. Thanks, Audible.

Snelling had 18 carries in the game (only 1 before Turner's injury). Norwood had 0 (Is still recovering from his injury? A concussion?.

What do they have where they should post "could be serious". I guess we could say that about any high sprain. Sounds like Rotoworld generating more drama than they should.

Similar to you posting about him possibly on IR in the LJ thread? Kidding, but not really...
UnknownCoach

If both were completely healthy, I'd expect Norwood to be the better fantasy option, but he's not a 25 carry RB. He's also going to have to fully participate in practice.

What's your reasoning for this? Snelling has produced when given the opportunity.
And I traded for him for him last week>>>>>>>>
Hoss_Cartwright
Footballguy
I never said he would go on the IR, I only said if that did happen for some freakish reason LJ would be a good fit in Atl. I do believe Rotoworlds posting is irresponsible.

I'm pretty sure Arthur Blank would disagree with this statement.

Glazer is usually money. If accurate that's a huge sigh of relief for his fantasy owners.

Something that might be positive is he did not stay down and know that he had just sprained it really badly. Now I have rolled my ankles numerous times and when it is a bad sprain you rarealy get up and you can not put barely any weight on it at all. Turner got up under his own power immediately and was putting a little bit of weight on it and walked off under his own power. He was also walking back and forth on the sideline before even getting looked at, almost acting as if he was just going to walk it off and get back out there. Now this is all speculation on my part but if it was really really badly sprained that would not have occured. Also Turner has never really missed time due to injury and I am assuing he has a pretty high pain threshold.

He also has no history of coming off a 376-carry regular season. Stat nerds say that a 350-carry season is the kiss of death the next year -- Turner had been doing a good job of dodging that, but the theory is that kind of wear and tear eventually always catches up with an RB the next year.

I don't know what spraining his ankle has to do with wear and tear. A running back with little amount of carries in his career would have sprained his ankle on that tackle if his foot turned under like Turner's did when being tackled. If anything, Turner was getting better with his running over the last few games, not wearing down.

I do: Absolutely nothing.Like you said, any guy would have sprained his ankle on career carry #1 if his foot rolled over like that.drfeelgood said:

How do you figure?Multiple starts for Snelling = multiple non-starts for Turner = out for most of the remaining fantasy regular season.trader jake said:

That's what I dislike about people that triumph the 350-370 carry argument, they'll clutch at anything to try and add validity to it. Any RB can get hurt on any play. Turner could have had 100 carries last season and still would have got injured on that play.drfeelgood said:

If your team misses the fantasy playoffs because Turner is out for a few weeks...odds are the team wasn't going to win the whole thing anyway. For a lot of owners his status in the fantasy playoffs is the bigger concern because that is when money and bragging rights are really on the line.

I don't agree with that. A lot of teams are neck and neck right now. In most regular season fantasy games, there is 3 games left. I would say not having Turner during that time will hurt a lot of fantasy teams fighting for a playoff spot.If your team misses the fantasy playoffs because Turner is out for a few weeks...odds are the team wasn't going to win the whole thing anyway.

The only teams that this likely won't hurt are teams that are already out of the running. I'm fighting for a first round bye and this will not help my chances.I don't agree with that.

It's already been labeled as a HAS, albeit a HAS that they think will heel quicker than most.

The one team I have him on is struggling (.500 in a 12-teamer). Ray Rice is my new #1, and while the drop from Turner to Kev Smith is pretty steep, I don't view it as fatal if they both stay healthy. Bradshaw is my RB4 so obvs I have no wiggle room until burner comes back, but the rest of the squad is rock solid (***disclaimer: Nobody Cares***Brady-Jennings-85-MSW-SS(G)-VD).I see a lot of wistful posts lately about being 2 games out with 3 or 4 to play. While I appreciate the never-say-die 'tude - and I want to always be in leagues full of guys who don't know how to give up - the reality at this point is if you're in that position, you probably didn't have a good enough team regardless of what happens.

What the heck makes them think it's a HAS that will heal quicker than most? As a Turner owner I'd love for this to be the case but that doesn't make sense to me. What makes one HAS a quick heal and the "normal" HAS not? Since they've said it's a HAS I'm prepared for him to be out for quite some time. I'd be thrilled with 4 weeks if I could lock in.It's already been labeled as a HAS, albeit a HAS that they think will heel quicker than most.

There's a zillion different scenarios out there. There's teams that are out of it with Turner, teams in the situation you described, teams that are right in the thick of it and teams that are in a good position to make the playoffs and can afford to listen him a couple weeks as long as he's back come fantasy playoff time.For those people that are right in the thick of it, I mean teams that are tied in their divisions or if it's a point league and your close within points, losing a guy like Turner is abolutely huge, especially since he's been turning in on lately and his schedule is more favoring than unfavoring down the stretch.If your team misses the fantasy playoffs because Turner is out for a few weeks...odds are the team wasn't going to win the whole thing anyway.

And as far as the idea of if Turner being out 2 to 3 weeks, if that makes a difference your team probably couldn't win it, that's crazy talk. I've won plenty of leagues where you just barely get into the playoffs and then your team takes off. Whether it be a late season WW Pick UP, an injury to another key player around the league who may have been on the No. 1's team.....you just never know. You just need a ticket into the playoffs and let the dice roll. So losing Turner for even 2 to 3 weeks if that's the case is huge, especially in Week freaken 10.

The high ankle sprain simply describes the region to which the injury occurs.All HAS are not created equal they come in a variety of severities, each with an individual prognosis.Even though HAS are traditionally considered more severe than the more common "lateral" ankle sprains it is entirely possible to have a "mild" HAS that heals very quickly.Obviously I'm not saying that is the case, just that it is a possibility.What the heck makes them think it's a HAS that will heal quicker than most?

Maybe Lynch AND Charles AND an actual valuable piece.
