DJ Turner: Moved back to practice squad
The Raiders reverted DJ Turner to their practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.Turner was elevated ahead of Sunday's loss to Denver but didn't see any work on offense. He did log four special-teams snaps and got a look as a punt returner, though he called for a fair catch the lone time the ball was kicked his way. Turner can be elevated two more times this season before Las Vegas would need to sign him to the active roster.

DJ Turner: Reuniting with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed DJ Turner (knee) to the practice squad Tuesday.Turner has been a free agent since early March, when the Raiders decided not to tender the 28-year-old wide receiver. He missed the final five games of the 2024 regular season due to a knee injury, but he has been cleared to play and will return to Las Vegas as a member of the team's practice squad. Turner would be a candidate for elevation to the active roster in Week 9 against the Jaguars if the Raiders require added depth at wide receiver.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Earns four targets in loss
DJ Turner caught two of four targets for five yards in Sunday's 29-19 loss to the Broncos. He also returned two punts for 14 yards.Turner has earned just seven total targets over the Las Vegas Raiders' past three games, resulting in five catches for 34 yards. Jakobi Meyers and Tre Tucker combined for a 17-203-0 receiving line on 23 total targets Sunday, and rookie tight end Brock Bowers is also clearly ahead of Turner on the route tree. Nonetheless, Turner figures to retain the No. 3 WR role against Kansas City in Week 13.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Three catches in loss
DJ Turner secured all three targets for 29 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in the Las Vegas Raiders' 34-19 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday.Turner bounced back from not drawing a single target in a Week 9 loss to the Bengals to post his second-highest catch total of the season. The third-year pro and fellow complementary wideout Tre Tucker seem to be stuck in a similar plight within the heavily concentrated Raiders air attack, that being having the misfortune of playing behind the high-usage duo of Brock Bowers and Jakobi Meyers. Turner will remain a highly speculative fantasy option in a tough Week 12 home matchup against the Broncos.
