Turner (ribs) had his 21-day window opened to return from the injured reserve list Wednesday. Turner has yet to play this season due to a rib injury, but it now appears he's nearing a return. The 2021 first-round pick from Houston appeared in 16 games with the Saints in 2024, recording 21 total tackles, including 2.0 sacks, four passes defensed and two forced fumbles. Dallas must still activate the 26-year-old to its active roster in order for him to suit up for the Week 16 matchup against the Chargers.

The Cowboys placed Turner (ribs) on injured reserve Tuesday, ruling him out for at least the first four games of the regular season. Turner could have his practice window opened after Week 4 and be back on the field in time to suit up Week 5 against the Jets on Sunday, Oct. 5, depending on the recovery timetable required for his ribs injury. Once fully healthy, 2021 first-round pick, who spent the first four years of his NFL career in New Orleans, will work to carve out a depth role in the Cowboys' pass-rush rotation.

The Cowboys are slated to sign Turner to a one-year, $3 million contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. The 2021 first-round pick played in just 15 regular-season games over the first three years of his NFL career as he struggled to stay healthy. Turner managed to play in 16 regular-season games for the Saints in 2024 and finished with 21 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass defenses and two forced fumbles while serving as a rotational defensive end behind Carl Granderson and Cameron Jordan. Turner would have a chance at a starting role opposite Micah Parsons if DeMarcus Lawrence (foot) opts to sign elsewhere in free agency.

Turner (ankle) is active for Sunday's tilt against Tampa Bay. Turner missed the Saints' first two practices of the week due to an ankle injury, but he was a limited participant Friday and has been cleared to suit up in the team's regular-season finale. The fourth-year defensive end has been working in a rotational role throughout the campaign while also serving on special teams. Turner would set a new career high if he can log at least a half-sack Sunday.

Turner (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Bucs, Brianna Dix of the Buccaneers' official site reports. Turner was injured in last Sunday's loss to the Raiders and logged a pair of DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday before returning to a limited practice Friday. The 2021 first-round pick has been a flop in New Orleans, logging 5.0 career sacks and never turning into a starter for the team. He's played in a career-high 15 games this season as a reserve lineman, logging 21 tackles (10 solo), including 2.0 sacks, four pass breakups and two forced fumbles. Turner's rookie contract is set to expire in March.
