Saints' Payton Turner: Will play vs. Broncos
Turner (knee) carries no injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Turner was held out of the Saints' Week 5 contest against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. He managed to play through the issue Sunday against the Buccaneers, and even on a short week, Turner is slated to suit up for Thursday's contest. He's provided rotational depth at defensive end this year and has accumulated five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.

Saints head coach Dennis Allen believes the injury is related to the one Turner suffered in Week 1 last season, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

Saints' Payton Turner: Healthy heading into training camp
Turner underwent back surgery in the offseason but will be ready to participate from the start of training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Turner missed the majority of last season due to a turf toe injury he suffered in Week 1, though he did manage to suit up for the Saints' Week 18 win over Atlanta. Injuries have derailed the defensive end's career to this point, as he's yet to play in more than eight contests in any of his three NFL campaigns. Turner said Tuesday that he's "feeling healthy right now," and he's currently set to play a rotational role for the Saints in 2024.

Saints' Payton Turner: Plays two games in 2023
Payton Turner logged one tackle while playing two games during the 2023 regular season.
Turner sustained a significant toe injury during the season opener and was sidelined on IR until the Week 18 win over Atlanta. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick was significantly hampered by injury for the third season in a row, as he's now appeared in just 15 games during his career. The 2024 campaign will likely serve as a make-or-break season for Turner in New Orleans.
