 Sam Baker - TNov. 20 - 4:09 pm et
Falcons LT Sam Baker (ankle) is on track to return for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Baker has missed Atlanta's last two games. His return is good news for Matt Ryan, who otherwise would've had Will Svitek on his blind side against Osi Umenyiora. When healthy, Baker has been a technician in pass protection.

 Roddy White - WRNov. 20 - 3:31 pm et
Roddy White (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 11, but is fully expected to play against the Giants.
White's been "questionable" for three weeks running, but hasn't missed a game. He'll start against a Giants club that struggles to stop No. 1 wideouts.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 20 - 3:25 pm et
Jerious Norwood (hip) is listed as questionable for Week 11.
Norwood appears likely to make his first appearance since Week 6, but isn't a fantasy option against the Giants. He will be rusty after getting the last four games off and Jason Snelling figures to handle feature back duties.

 Michael Turner - RBNov. 20 - 3:22 pm et
Michael Turner (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Week 11 after missing his third straight practice Friday.
Even listing Turner as "doubtful" is generous; coach Mike Smith admits that he has no timetable for return. Turner is in danger of missing several weeks with a high ankle sprain. Jerious Norwood (hip) practiced Friday and is listed as questionable, but is unlikely to be a major threat to Jason Snelling's carries after sitting out for the last month. Snelling will start at the Giants.

 Roddy White - WRNov. 19 - 5:43 pm et
Roddy White (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
White has missed practice time the past two weeks, but the knee soreness hasn't affected him in game action. We have him ranked as the No. 6 fantasy WR this week in a matchup with the Giants.
 Michael Turner - RBNov. 19 - 1:46 pm et
Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) missed practice Thursday as expected, and coach Mike Smith said there's no timetable for the running back's return.
Turner almost certainly will sit out this week. The Falcons play the Bucs in Week 12 and Turner could be rested that week as well. We're considering Turner "week to week" for now, with Jason Snelling as the starter and Jerious Norwood (questionable, hip) his backup.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 19 - 1:33 pm et
Jerious Norwood (hip) returned to a limited practice Thursday.
This is Norwood's first practice since injuring his hip on Oct. 18. Even if he's active against the Giants Sunday, it's hard to see him having a major role. We're expecting Jason Snelling to start and get the majority of work. Aaron Stecker would be the No. 3 back.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 18 - 5:22 pm et
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jerious Norwood (hip) "looks like a long shot" to be ready for Week 11.
Norwood just began running on back-to-back days, so his role will surely be extremely minor against the Giants if he's active. Jason Snelling says he is preparing to be Atlanta's featured runner with Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) almost certainly out. The Falcons may have just two backs active on game day: Snelling and 34-year-old special teamer Aaron Stecker.

 Roddy White - WRNov. 18 - 4:05 pm et
Roddy White (knee) was held out of Falcons practice Wednesday.
White has been routinely been limited or held out of practice lately, but the alleged knee injury didn't affect his Week 10 numbers. He had 98 yards on seven catches against a Carolina pass defense that ranks No. 4 in the NFL.

 Michael Turner - RBNov. 18 - 3:14 pm et
Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) missed practice on Wednesday.
Falcons coach Mike Smith says Turner "worked hard" in the training room and has "made strides", but he's almost certainly not going to practice all week. Returning for Week 12 would probably be a best-case scenario for Turner.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 18 - 3:10 pm et
Jerious Norwood (hip) missed Falcons practice on Wednesday.
Norwood worked on the side as the rest of the team practiced, and coach Mike Smith is "hopeful" that the scatback will be able to return Wednesday. If Norwood is out, Jason Snelling will be an every-down back at New York.
Source: J. Michael Moore on Twitter
 Michael Turner - RBNov. 18 - 12:31 pm et
Michael Turner admitted Wednesday that he has "no time frame" to return from his high ankle sprain.
Turner hasn't ruled himself out for Week 11 at the Giants, but there's next to no chance that he'll play. If he's active, he'll be at significantly less than 100 percent. Expect Jason Snelling to handle the bulk of the workload.
Source: Atlanta Journal-Constitution
 Michael Turner - RBNov. 18 - 11:49 am et
Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) will not practice Wednesday and is "day-to-day," according to coach Mike Smith.
Don't believe Smith. Turner will almost certainly miss this week and will possibly sit out against the Bucs in Week 12. Even if his high ankle sprain isn't as serious as it sounds, it would be almost impossible for Turner to return this week. S mith is just playing games with the Giants.

 Tye Hill - DBNov. 17 - 9:32 am et
Falcons LCB Tye Hill was benched in favor of Brent Grimes during Sunday's loss to the Panthers.
Hill was not injured as some suspected. Atlanta's secondary has been beat up by injuries and can't seem to settle on a lineup. No team has given up more pass plays of 20+ yards this year. It's a position for opponents to attack.

 Troy Bergeron - WRNov. 16 - 8:00 pm et
Falcons released WR Troy Bergeron.
Bergeron was signed off of the practice squad two days ago. He was released to make room for RB Aaron Stecker and will likely end up back on the practice squad.

 Aaron Stecker - RBNov. 16 - 7:58 pm et
Falcons re-signed RB Aaron Stecker.
Stecker will be insurance with Michael Turner likely out for a couple of games. He was released just two days ago when Jason Snelling came back.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 16 - 7:27 pm et
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution writes that Jerious Norwood and Jason Snelling "would split carries" against the Giants in Week 11 if Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) is unable to play.
However, the paper also acknowledges that Norwood (hip strain) only began running last week. It's safe to assume that Snelling and Norwood would share the backfield equally if Norwood was healthy, but he hasn't played or practiced in a month. Snelling is a much better bet for fantasy production -- and goal-line carries -- even if Norwood returns to the field this week.

 Jerious Norwood - RBNov. 16 - 5:23 pm et
According to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Jerious Norwood (hip) is "close" to returning.
Norwood hasn't practiced or played in a month, so he's almost certainly not ready for a big role despite Michael Turner's high ankle sprain. Jason Snelling is a good bet to carry a close-to-full workload Sunday at the Giants.

 Michael Turner - RBNov. 16 - 3:21 pm et
Coach Mike Smith said Monday that the Falcons are "very confident" Michael Turner (high ankle sprain) will play again in 2009.
We're going to guess that Turner will miss two games and be considered day to day from there. All signs point to his high ankle sprain not being as serious as injuries of that nature usually are. Jason Snelling should top fantasy league waiver pickups this week. He'll definitely get at least one start.

 Michael Turner - RBNov. 16 - 1:39 pm et
FOX Sports' Jay Glazer reports that Michael Turner has been diagnosed with a high ankle sprain.
However, Glazer says the Falcons are "very optimistic" that Turner's injuy isn't as serious as most high ankle sprains. Turner has virtually no history of injuries and is only 27, so he figures to recover quickly. Still, Jason Snelling is a fair bet to pick up multiple starts. Jerious Norwood's (hip) status is uncertain for Week 11, but he'll also be worth adding in most leagues.
