ATLANTA (AP) Turner, a four-year veteran who has been best known as LaDainian Tomlinson's backup in San Diego, is expected to play a more important role with the Falcons, where he is projected as the power complement to speed back Jerious Norwood.

Turner (5-10, 237) has 228 carries for 1,257 yards and six touchdowns in four seasons with San Diego.

Though he is a powerful runner, Turner also showed his big-play skills with three of San Diego's longest 11 rushes in team history -- 83, 74 and 73 yards.
