Michael Turner Returns to Practice Turner returned on a limited basis on Wednesday, but since head coach Mike Smith hasn't given any estimate on when Turner could play in a game, it's a safe bet he won't start this week's game. Jason Snelling looked good last week, and Jerious Norwood is back ... Continue Reading
