Turner’s ankle ‘just a little sore’

[1FalconsFan]

Flowery Branch — Running back Michael Turner came away from Sunday’s loss to Tampa Bay with a sore right ankle, but it’s something he doesn’t think is serious.

It’s one of those things you get rolled up into, and you’ve got to walk it off a little bit,” Turner said. “Just a little sore. Nothing major.”Head coach Mike Smith said Grady Jackson’s swollen knee had improved, after he was a surprise inactive Sunday. He is expected back in practice this week.

Cornerback Brent Grimes left the game in the second quarter for a couple of plays and was replaced by Domonique Foxworth.

“I got the wind knocked out of me a little bit,” Grimes said. “I had to take a couple of plays off.”

That's good news

I wonder if Foxworth will slowly be getting more playing time?

Our secondary needs to tighten up a little bit an maybe he can help with that.

I think we need to up the aggressiveness of the D.

Something doesn't sound right when the people that are suppose to be dealing out punishment end up getting hurt.

[R.C. Collins]

Has there been any word on Grady Jackson's status for Sundays game?

I think him being out really hurt us last game.

Any word on Sam yet?

the falcons sent him home from the facilities yesterday so he could rest up some more. he said he feels a whole lot better though.

Good to here because Weiner does not need to play another down for the falcons :blink:

Hope to see Turner at 100% recovery sooner than later.

I wonder if the 100 degree day (with the humidity added in) had anything to do with Grady not playing? I mean the dude is 345 pounds and looks to be one breath mint away from exploding.

As much tape as Turner wears on his ankles, I'm surprised they're sore at all. :blink:

Grimes has carried over his impressive showing from preseason, but I would not be upset in the least if Foxworth got the starting nod over Houston. He has been making a lot of mistakes out there.

I still think Houston can be a very good corner one day. He has all the necessary physical traits, but he's just not there yet mentally. There is a fine line that has to be met. You know a young guy can't get better without experience, but giving him playing time without having the experience can be a liability. It's the same issue that many on here are having with Anderson. But I think if Foxworth proves to be an upgrade over Houston, you have give him the starting nod and let Houston get playing time as the back-up.
