Turbin suggests that he'll be out 4-6 weeks with his high ankle sprain, Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It will be a while before Turbin makes his mark in the Browns' backfield, but he'll give the team some valuable depth behind Isaiah Crowell and Duke Johnson down the road, with Turbin's role upon his eventual return hinging on the health and productivity of his new running back counterparts at that time.

The Browns have claimed Turbin (ankle) on waivers from Seattle, ESPN's Adam Schefter reports.
EDGE Analysis
While Turbin is recovering from a nasty ankle sprain, the report suggests that he will be ready in a few weeks, at which point he'll boost the depth of a Cleveland backfield that also rosters Isaiah Crowell and rookie Duke Johnson.

Turbin (ankle) and the Seahawks have agreed to terms of an injury settlement, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin landed on injured reserve due to a high-ankle sprain, but he'll now be subjected to waivers once again. If he remains a free agent at the conclusion of the settlement six weeks hence, he can re-sign with the Seahawks, according to Curtis Crabtree of Sports Radio KJR.

Turbin (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Adam Caplan of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
After clearing waivers, the Seahawks have placed the reserve running back on IR, thereby ending his season as a result of a high ankle sprain. With the expectation that Turbin was out for the season, the team inked Fred Jackson to a contract in order to have an experienced hand to spell Marshawn Lynch.

Turbin (ankle) was waived with an injury designation Saturday by the Seahawks, the Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
The designation alerts teams to Turbin's injury, which is expected to keep him out five weeks. If Turbin is not claimed in 24 hours, he will revert to injured reserve. The Seahawks likely decided not to place him on IR with a designation to return because he is a free agent after this year.

Turbin (ankle) is expected to be waived with an injury designation, Ian Rapoport of NFL.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
While coach Pete Carroll did not offer up a timetable for Turbin's return from a high-ankle sprain, this report suggests he's looking at a five-week absence. The Seahawks appear likely to cut bait with Turbin rather than ride it out, having signed Fred Jackson for depth behind Marshawn Lynch.

Coach Pete Carroll declined to offer a timetable for Turbin's (ankle) return to action, ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Per the report, Carroll has used words such as "significant" and "legitimate" to describe the running back's ankle issue and perhaps more telling, is that the Seahawks have now added veteran Fred Jackson to their backfield mix. In any case, Turbin's Week 1 status is cloudy and the presence of Jackson now threatens his status as a preferred fantasy insurance policy for starter Marshawn Lynch.

Turbin suffered a high ankle sprain in Saturday's preseason game, the Seattle Times reports.
EDGE Analysis
This explains the interest the Seahawks have in signing Fred Jackson. Coach Pete Carroll said Tuesday the sprain is "significant." Turbin could begin the year on the PUP list, though that has not been determined. This is also bad news for Christine Michael, who apparently is not trusted with backup work if Turbin is out.

Turbin had five carries for 19 yards in Saturday's preseason game against the Chargers.
EDGE Analysis
Christine Michael gained 37 yards on seven carries, with UDFA Thomas Rawls chipping in 20 yards on six totes. Despite his underwhelming preseason, Turbin is the favorite to serve as Marshawn Lynch's top backup.

Turbin underwent offseason hip surgery, and his timeline for a return to the field is uncertain, FOX Sports reports. If Turbin's recovery stretches into the regular season, it could open up some extra carries for Christine Michael. If both running backs are healthy, they'll likely split the work behind entrenched starter Marshawn Lynch, though it's possible one or the other emerges as the clear top backup. Turbin is entering the final season of his rookie contract, after rushing for 310 yards on 74 carries (4.2 YPC) in 2014.
