Fact: Michael Turner has destroyed the Carolina Panthers running proverbial wind sprints up and down the field.
Since joining the Atlanta Falcons as unrestricted free agent in 2008, "The Burner" has run for 651 yards and scored 11 touchdowns in six contests.
Now with Carolina being without the services of Sione Fua and Terrell McClain for the rest of the season on Tuesday, and emerging safety Charles Godfrey missing practice, its safety to say that the Panthers won't be fighting the good fight with all the ammo in the clip.
For Cam Newton and the offense, tight end Greg Olsen didn't practice to rest his injured knee.
