Okay. I may have to hit the panic button. I'm dealing with a shoulder injury myself right now. I feel for him.

So, you're not watching Sunday?

To be fair, it was at LT, where he hadn't practiced.  He's been at G mostly since being drafted and all of the sudden he was thrown into the fire at LT last game.  Still, he hasn't been very good regardless of position.

Also to be fair, how this whole thing happened is mind boggling. Turner is playing Guard, Tunsil slips in the shower and hurts his ankle so he can't play. The Dolphins are forced to move him out to LT to compensate for Tunsil's shower injury and then he was terrible and end up released. All because Tunsil slipped and hurt his ankle in the shower. Maybe Castillo can coach him up to play better than he did in Miami, who knows.

"Grim has been ruled out for the rest of the season with a shoulder injury. Ravens fans will now complaint that it's Ozzies fault for him drafting injury prone fans, and harbaugh for making them go to hard during practice"

Speaking of drafting injury prone fans who turned out to be busts...look ^^

I think that's what this is, to be honest.  Castillo has been known to have his pet projects on the roster, and I think I remember (could be wrong) him being a big reason that we liked Turner back when he was drafted.  Maybe it works out, and maybe it doesn't, but I think Castillo wants to try.

Surprised they didn't give former Raven and a draft pick Robert Myers a call, he's on seattles practice squad

Derp......no.  He's a train wreck.  There's a reason he's bouncing around.

[jboy19]

Who knows. Miami rage-cut three offensive linemen after their last game. Maybe they threw the baby out with the bath water. 

Seems like a good pickup. Remember he was super raw, yet athletic coming out. Maybe some Yanda will rub off on him.

Damn you Ozzie!

 

I knew he shouldn't have drafted me. I am an injury prone bust.

You know the injury is serious if Yanda misses the game, that dude is tougher than getting fresh water in Flint, Michigan.

Agreed 100%, Yanda is as tough as they come

That wouldn't surprise me. On paper the Dolphins' line is as good as most in the league but their constant underachievement suggests that they're kind of a basket case from the top down. Hopefully a change of scenery and some better coaching will see him turn a corner.

Well we just released him so unless he clears waivers and gets thrown on the PS he had a short stay. Just promoted peanut to the active 53 for LB depth. Could mean either Stanley , Wagner or yanda are almost back.

[Rav'n Maniac]

Well, that was fast.

Glad Turner's gone. PO has more potential.

[Willbacker]

So is Turner actually considered an ex Raven now?

I'm thinking with this move we covering SpTeams and ILB depth which might mean Mosley is out.

I definitely thinks Mosley is out. I now wonder about Mclellan. Not much has been said about him, but he is listed as questionable.   If that's the case, I guessbit would be Orr and Correa at ILB and Onwuasor as the backup.

[rmw10]

Although I liked the move of picking him up, I think getting rid of him this soon was the right move for now.  We needed a healthy body at LB and since Turner wasn't ready to play yet, he was the obvious choice.  Assuming he clears waivers, I'd guess he'll be back with us in some capacity.

Questionable doesn't mean much anymore since they scrapped the probable designation.  McClellan will play, and likely start.

[AppStRavenfan]

I say there's a pretty good chance that Turner is about to take the PS spot that Onwuasor's promotion just left open. Right now we're desperately trying find a ST coverage unit that meshes well together, I like Onwuasor as a STer, he's got the prototypical traits. Turner should be on a teams practice squad, he does have plenty of potential if we can develop him correctly.

[redlobster]

Does Levine see a bigger role as well? He only played 10 defensive snaps last week

[Maryland]

Part of me is actually kind of excited we activated Onwuasor. His penchant for hitting too hard is actually an asset when he's tackling the opposing team. I wonder if he'll even be active, however.

He'll be active. He wouldn't have been promoted otherwise. We need the depth for tomorrow as all 7 inactive spots could conceivably be filled by injured players. 

[KBoum]

We might see Turner back as soon as he got the playbook down. Coaches seem to like his potential if he clears he'll go on PS

[GrimCoconut]

Just an FYI, the Broncos claimed Billy Turner off waivers. He probably isn't coming back to Baltimore, fellas.

I liked the possibility of him, but no big loss of course.  Assuming the Broncos also placed a claim when we got him though.
