Turbin had two carries for ten yards in Sunday's win over Green Bay. He also had two receptions for 13 yards on three targets.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin played 16-of-68 snaps on offense as he's clearly the No. 2 running back as Josh Ferguson (five snaps) has been relegated to a limited backup role.

Turbin caught all three targets that came his way for 25 yards and added nine yards on two rushes in Sunday's loss to Kansas City.
EDGE Analysis
The 34 total yards were actually a season-high for Turbin, though it was the first time since Week 1 that he didn't record a red-zone carry. The back-up back's scoreless streak now stands at four games. Turbin could steal a touchdown here and there, but he's yet to tally more than seven touches in a game thus far this season and opportunities are unlikely to increase with quarterback Andrew Luck being used more of a runner as of late, with 50 or more rushing yards in two of his last three games.

Turbin (wrist/shoulder) gained two yards on three carries and 22 yards on four receptions (four targets) in Sunday's 26-23 loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin returned from a one-game absence and surprisingly displaced Josh Ferguson as the top passing-down back, though the rookie did still get some snaps (but not touches). Per usual, Frank Gore dominated the rushing workload, leaving Turbin and Ferguson to divvy up the third-down snaps and occasional leftovers.

Turbin (wrist/shoulder) is healthy to play against the Texans on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin was unavailable for the Colts' Week 5 contest after sustaining an injury in practice, but fully participated in every practice this week and was ultimately removed from the team's injury report. He projects to slot in as the No. 3 running back behind unquestioned starter Frank Gore and rookie Josh Ferguson.

Turbin (wrist/shoulder) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin missed last week's game due to the ailments, but his return to a full practice early in the week suggests he'll be active for Week 6. He'll likely resume his backup role to Frank Gore.

Turbin (wrist/shoulder) is listed as inactive Sunday against the Bears.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin was a surprise non-participant in Friday's session, making it appear as if he suffered some sort of setback with either his wrist or shoulder injury. As a result, he'll take a seat for Sunday's contest, paving the way for Josh Ferguson to serve as Frank Gore's primary backup. Jordan Todman, who has been used primarily on special teams this season, would be the emergency third back.

Turbin did not practice Friday due to wrist and shoulder injuries. He's listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Chicago.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin was able to fully practice on Wednesday and THursday, so he must have had a setback late in the week. If he can't play, Josh Ferguson would likely get more snaps as Frank Gore's backup. Jordan Todman could also see his first action of the season on offense as the third running back if Turbin is out.

Turbin rushed once for two years and caught two passes for three yards in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
EDGE Analysis
The Colts offense is based around the Andrew Luck's right arm and, after Frank Gore gets his touches, there are seldom more than crumbs for Turbin. Turbin only has 43 total yards on 13 touches thus far this season. His primary value is as a potential touchdown vulture, he has found the end zone twice thus far this season.

Turbin had four carries for nine yards, including a one-yard touchdown, in Sunday's win over San Diego. He played just nine snaps on offense.
EDGE Analysis
Turbin continues to get fewer snaps than Josh Ferguson (17) behind starter Frank Gore. However, Turbin had a second short touchdown in consecutive weeks, which could give him some value as a goal-line back.

Turbin had three carries for ten yards, including a five-yard touchdown, in Sunday's loss at Denver.
EDGE Analysis
While Turbin got the touchdown run, he played fewer snaps (12) than Josh Ferguson (27). It looks like Ferguson may remain a larger part of the offense among the backup running backs, though the split in playing time could be different if Frank Gore were to get hurt.
