Backup running back Jason Snelling is preparing to start for Michael Turner against the New York Giants on Sunday. "My approach is that I'm going to be coming in and starting this game," said Snelling on Wednesday. "That's the mind-set that I have to have this week." Turner suffered a high ankle sprain against Carolina and did not practice. He would not rule himself out of Sunday's game. "I don't have a time frame on the injury," Turner said. "I'm not going to count myself out right now. It's only Wednesday. I'm going to take a couple of days. Later on in the week, I'll know for sure if I'll be able to play or not." Falcons coach Mike Smith remains hopeful that Turner will recuperate. ..."
