It looks like “the Burner” will be grounded.

The Atlanta Falcons released their injury report late Friday afternoon and, as expected, running back Michael Turner was officially listed as doubtful for the Week 11 contest against the New York Giants.

Turner was in the middle of what was looking like a sensational afternoon last Sunday against the Carolina Panthers, rushing for 111 yards on nine carries before sustaining a high right ankle sprain midway through the second quarter. He did not return.

Atlanta likely will be forced to primarily use rushers Jason Snelling and Aaron Stecker at the Meadowlands, although it’s possible that Jerious Norwood may finally see some action against the Giants.

Norwood, who has missed the last four weeks with a hip flexor, was limited in practice on Thursday and Friday and is listed as questionable for the tilt in the swamps of New Jersey.

Atlanta will be without wideout Brian Finneran (knee) for the contest, while fellow WR Roddy White is questionable with a knee injury.

Safety Erik Coleman (knee) is also listed as questionable.

The Falcons did receive some good news about tackle Sam Baker, who missed the club’s Week 10 contest against Carolina. He participated fully in Atlanta’s last two practices and is probable on Sunday.

The New York Giants entered Friday with three injuries and ended the day with four.

Defensive captain Antonio Pierce was not listed on any injury reports this week but is out indefinitely after an MRI exam revealed a bulging disk in his neck. The nine-year pro, who suffered a burner when the G-Men took on the Arizona Cardinals on October 25, felt discomfort in practice this week before undergoing tests Friday.

Big Blue may also be without cornerback Aaron Ross, who is questionable with a hamstring injury.

However, running back Ahmad Bradshaw (ankle/foot) and quarterback Eli Manning (foot) should be in uniform as the Giants try to snap a four-game skid on Sunday. Bradshaw was limited in practice all week, but New York’s signal caller Manning fully participated in New York’s practices. Both are listed as probable.
