Turbin is officially back on the Colts' active roster after completing a four-game suspension.

EDGE Analysis

What sort of role Turbin might see now that he's back in the mix is unclear, which clouds his fantasy prospects, but with Marlon Mack (hamstring) out, he could work in a complementary role Thursday in a backfield that will also include Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines. Once fully up to speed, Turbin could potentially emerge as a goal-line option in the Indy offense.

Head coach Frank Reich said there's a possibility Turbin (suspension) will play in Thursday's game against the Patriots, but the running back isn't in line for anything more than a situational role, Kevin Bowen of 1070 The Fan Indianapolis reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin has officially satisfied his four-game PED suspension, but it's not certain the Colts will instantly promote the veteran to the active roster for Thursday's quick turnaround. Even if he does suit up, Turbin likely won't serve as anything more than an occasional short-yardage back that can be trusted in pass protection, setting up both Jordan Wilkins and Nyheim Hines as better fantasy plays.

Turbin (suspension) took five carries for 12 yards and lost a fumble in Thursday's preseason game against the Bengals.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin failed to take advantage of his opportunity as a starter in his last game appearance until Week 5. He could have a part-time role when he returns from his four-game suspension, with goal-line/short-yardage work representing his best opportunity to contribute.

Coach Frank Reich said Turbin (suspension) will start Thursday's preseason game against Cincinnati, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

EDGE Analysis

Given that he missed the past two preseason games with an ankle injury and is set to serve a four-game suspension at the beginning of the regular season, Turbin could be in for a significant workload Thursday against the Bengals. He'll likely fill a much smaller role when he returns to the Colts in Week 5.

Turbin ankle, suspension) will be held out of Saturday's preseason contest against the 49ers.

EDGE Analysis

Following a two-absence to tend to an ankle injury, Turbin returned to practice Thursday, but the showing wasn't enough for the training staff to sign off on game action. He'll thus have one more chance to see the field (Thursday in Cincinnati) before kicking off the regular season with a four-game suspension for a violation of the NFL's policy on performance enhancing substances. At that point, the Colts backfield could be helmed by a combination of Jordan Wilkins, Christine Michael and Nyheim Hines if Marlon Mack's strained hamstring continues to linger.

Turbin (ankle, suspension) returned to practice Thursday, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin took the practice field for the first time since injuring his ankle in Indianapolis' preseason opener Aug. 9. In that particular contest, he impressed with six carries for 27 yards and two catches (on three targets) for 18 yards. It remains to be seen if he'll be healthy enough to play Saturday against the 49ers, leaving one exhibition to make an appearance before kicking off the regular season with a four-game suspension. The rest of the backfield is in flux due to presumed starter Marlon Mack's hamstring injury. For the time being, Jordan Wilkins, Christine Michael and Nyheim Hines figure to battle for reps with the first-team offense.

Turbin (ankle, suspension) will not play in Monday's preseason game against the Ravens.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin suffered the injury in last week's preseason opener and missed practice throughout the week. The severity of the injury remains unclear, but the 28-year-old has some additional recovery time as he is suspended through Week 4 for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances.

Turbin (suspension) missed practice Saturday after suffering an ankle injury in Thursday's preseason win at Seattle, Mike Chappell reports. Turbin is "week-to-week,'" according to head coach Frank Reich.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin is suspended for the first four NFL regular-season games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. However, he's able to play in the preseason and was likely set for a sizeable workload. The Colts may be thin at running back in the preseason with Marlon Mack also sidelined by a hamstring injury.

Turbin (suspension) had six carries for 27 yards and two receptions for 18 yards in Thursday's preseason win at Seattle.

EDGE Analysis

Expect Turbin to get extensive work in the preseason since he can play in exhibition games even though he's suspended for the first four NFL regular season games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances. Turbin could win a role as Marlon Mack's primary backup and carve out a goal-line role.

Turbin was suspended four games for violating the league's policy on performance-enhancing substances, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Turbin only played in six games last season due to an elbow injury, but when healthy he was a reliable third-down back capable in both pass protection and short-yardage rushing scenarios. The eighth-year running back was supposed to return to a similarly significant role in the Colts backfield in 2018, but without Turbin the team will now need to use a combination of Marlon Mack, fourth-round rookie Nyheim Hines (5-foot-9, 197 pounds) and fifth-round rookie Jordan Wilkins (6-1, 217) to shoulder the load. Wilkins' size could make him the favorite to take over short yardage work for the season's first four games.
