Jason Snelling has to carry the majority of the rushing load again.

 

Expect the Falcons to be extra careful with Michael Turner's groin injury. While he was cleared to return to the action last Sunday, he was limited in practice early last week.

 

There is no reason to risk additional strain on the groin after Snelling's performance on Sunday. He ran it from scrimmage, picked up the blitz and caught passes out of the backfield on his way to being named the NFC offensive player of the week.

 

"His versatility is impressive," Ryan said. "He can go in at fullback for us. He can go in at tailback for us."

 

Turner ripped the Saints for 151 yards rushing last season at the Superdome. If there is any concern about Turner's groin, the Falcons know Snelling can step in and deliver.
