FLOWERY BRANCH – Running back Michael Turner doesn't regret coming back and trying to play on a high right ankle sprain against  Tampa Bay.

"I'll do it every time," Turner said on Wednesday. "The team needs me out there. We need everybody out there. If I can go and give some type of effort, I'll suit up and go each time. I don't have any regrets about that."

Turner re-injured the ankle and is "day-to-day" for Sunday's game against the Philadelphia Eagles. He doesn't think he came back too soon, just 14 days after the initial injury.

"It was just the way that I got tackled," Turner said. "I guess the guy fell on my ankle. It was a big pile up and I got bent back a little bit and I was out for the rest of the game."
