Falcons wide receiver Roddy White has suggested to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that running back Jerious Norwood will start on Sunday against the Eagles. Michael Turner left Sunday's game in the third quarter after reinjuring his right ankle. Turner has 864 yards and 10 touchdowns on 177 carries, while Norwood has just 100 yards on 25 attempts this season.

Falcons quarterback Matt Ryan will not play against the Eagles this coming Sunday. Atlanta coach Mike Smith announced the decision on Monday. Ryan suffered a turf toe injury early in Atlanta's win over Tampa Bay.

The Falcons lost quarterback Matt Ryan and running back Michael Turner in Sunday's comeback win over the Buccaneers. Ryan left in the first quarter with an injured big right toe and didn't return. Turner aggravated a right ankle injury in the third quarter and didn't return to action. Atlanta needed a late score to defeat Tampa Bay.

Falcons running back Michael Turner is expected to play against the Buccaneers on Sunday. He suffered a high ankle sprain just two weeks ago. Turner will test his ankle during warmups, but has shown enough in practice this week that sources expect him to be a part of the action. He has rushed for 831 yards and 10 touchdowns on 165 carries.

The Falcons are looking at potential replacements for struggling kicker Jason Elam. On Tuesday, Atlanta hosted Steve Hauschka, Sam Swant and Shane Andrus and Brandon Coutu. Elam, 39, has made only 10-of-16 field-goal attempts this season.

Falcons running back Michael Turner hopes to return to the field soon. He has been receiving treatment on his sprained right ankle. "I'm just taking it easy right now and hoping for the best," Turner said. He suffered the injury on Nov. 15 against the Panthers.

Falcons running back Michael Turner suffered a right ankle injury on Sunday against the Panthers. He appeared to roll the ankle when he was tackled at the end of a 10-yard run that gave him 111 yards on just nine carries. "They still have to look it some more," Turner said after Atlanta's loss to Carolina. "They don't even know yet. We've got a long bus ride home."

Falcons wide receiver Michael Jenkins could miss Sunday's game against the Panthers with an illness. Jenkins didn't miss practice this week. He has 23 receptions for 295 yards and zero touchdowns in 2009.

The Falcons are going to ride buses to their game in Charlotte on Sunday. "We will get there quicker by taking a bus," Falcons coach Mike Smith said. "Everybody started laughing, but when Coach told us we were going to get there a little quicker, then everybody was like ?oh yeah, that's the better route to go," wide receiver Roddy White said.

Falcons head coach Mike Smith and two Redskins have been fined for their part in Sunday's incident between Atlanta and Washington. Smith was fined $15,000 and Redskins cornerback DeAngelo Hall was among those penalized as well. "I received a letter from the NFL office this morning," Smith said. "I want to reiterate that I'm always going to have my players' backs and I'm going to take care of them." Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth was fined $5,000 for coming to the aid of teammate Hall on Atlanta's sideline, a league source told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
