Michael Turner-RB (Falcons)

The Falcons starting running back Michael Turner left Sunday's game against the Jets after reinjuring his ankle after just one carry. Turner has been battling the injured ankle now for several weeks, with the Falcons out of the playoffs it would not be surprising to see him shut it down for 2009.
