There are few situations that are more difficult for a team to overcome than to have one of its greatest strengths turned into a weakness in a crucial stretch of the season, but that is exactly what the Falcons are ...

Norwood, Jerious (RB)
Posted Nov. 20, 2009 @ 6:41 p.m.
Norwood practiced Friday for the second straight day after missing Atlanta's last four games with a hip flexor.
The Falcons (5-4) hope Norwood, who is listed as questionable for Sunday, can help stabilize his position when they visit the New York Giants (5-4). Pro Bowl running back Michael Turner is sidelined with a high ankle sprain and not expected to play. He did not practice this week and is listed as doubtful. Though Norwood is unlikely to start, the four-year veteran has spent most of his career as a backup to Turner and the retired Warrick Dunn.
Ryan, Matt (QB)
Posted Nov. 16, 2009 @ 4:59 p.m.
Ryan was 22 of 41 for 224 yards and one touchdown Sunday in a 28-19 loss to Carolina. He has eight INTs in his last four games.
The Falcons believe Ryan will bounce back against the struggling Giants - losers of four straight - next Sunday. "I don't think there's anything technically wrong with him," receiver Michael Jenkins said of Ryan. "We've just got to limit turnovers and execute better." Fantasy owners should beware, however.
White, Roddy (WR)
Posted Nov. 16, 2009 @ 4:51 p.m.
White had seven catches for 98 yards Sunday in a 28-19 loss at Carolina.
White failed to find the end zone for the second straight week due to Matt Ryan's struggles.
Turner, Michael (RB)
Posted Nov. 16, 2009 @ 4:46 p.m.
Turner had nine carries for 111 yards before leaving with a sprained right ankle in the Falcons' 28-19 loss to Carolina on Sunday.
It is unclear whether Turner will play next Sunday against the Giants. Jason Snelling could replace him.
Turner, Michael (RB)
Posted Nov. 15, 2009 @ 1:16 p.m.
Turner's hot start was derailed Sunday when he left in the second quarter with a sprained right ankle in the Falcons' 28-19 loss to Carolina.
Coach Mike Smith said Turner will undergo tests Monday to determine if he'll be out an extended period. "I think we'll have a lot better idea when we get him back to Atlanta," Smith said.
