Turner was cut from the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
Turner signed with San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 23, but it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. The Illinois product most recently appeared in two regular-season games with the 49ers in 2022, playing almost strictly on special teams (49 of 50 total snaps on special teams). In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed veteran wide receiver Russell Gage to their practice squad.

Arizona worked out Turner (undisclosed) Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
It's the first action Turner has seen since he was cut by Indianapolis prior to Week 1. The Cardinals are relatively thin at the wide receiver position, so it makes some sense that they're looking to bolster their roster there.

Rotowire
Houston signed Turner to its practice squad Friday.
Just a few days after being cut from the Raiders' practice squad, Turner has already found another opportunity to make an impression with the Texans. With Nico Collins (foot) recently having landed on the injured reserve list and Brandin Cooks (calf) and Chris Moore (foot) both questionable for Week 16, Turner could see himself elevated to the active roster sooner rather than later.

The Raiders signed Turner to their practice squad Thursday.
Turner was just let go from San Fransisco's practice squad Tuesday, after he already received a maximum of three elevations to the 49ers' active roster in 2022.

Malik Turner: Returning to practice squad
Rotowire
Turner reverted to the 49ers' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's official transaction log.
Turner didn't see any work on offense in the Week 5 win over the Panthers, but he did record an assisted tackle on kick coverage. This was Turner's third promotion from the practice squad, so he will need to be signed to the active roster if he's going to appear for the 49ers again this season.

49ers' Malik Turner: Elevated to active roster
Rotowire
Turner has been elevated to the 49ers active roster ahead of Monday's Week 4 contest against the Rams.
The move will mark Turner's second elevation, which means he'll only be eligible for one more standard promotion before the 49ers would need to officially sign him to the active roster. The undrafted wideout out of Illinois played primarily on special teams during his Week 1 elevation and figures to garner a similar role against Los Angeles.

Cowboys' Malik Turner: Will play against New Orleans
Rotowire
Turner (undisclosed) is set to be available against the Saints on Thursday.
Turner was on the Cowboys' injury report all week leading up to Thursday's game, but the receiver will be active for the primetime contest. Expect Turner's presence to have a minimal impact on the Cowboys offense, as the team's top receivers, Amari Cooper and CeeDee Lamb, are set to return to the field.

Cowboys' Malik Turner: One catch in Sunday's loss
Rotowire
Turner caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 19-9 loss to Kansas City.
With Amari Cooper sidelined due to COVID-19 and then CeeDee Lamb leaving Sunday's game early with a concussion, the Cowboys' depth options at wide receiver were forced to see more action than usual. Even if both Lamb and Cooper are out for Thursday's game against the Raiders, Turner will still be behind Michael Gallup and Cedrick Wilson in the pecking order and would have to battle Noah Brown for the No. 3 role, giving him limited fantasy appeal.

Cowboys' Malik Turner: Scores twice in garbage time
Rotowire
Turner caught five of seven targets for 33 yards and two touchdowns in Sunday's 30-16 loss to the Broncos.
The catches were the first of the season for Turner, who did all his damage inside the final five minutes of the game with the Cowboys down 30-0. The garbage-time usage was impressive, but the 25-year-old probably will need multiple injuries ahead of him on the wide receiver depth chart to have any kind of role in the offense Week 10 against the Falcons.
