Plays two games in 2023
Turner logged one tackle while playing two games during the 2023 regular season.
ANALYSIS
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.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
In fight for roster spot
Turner will have to earn his spot on the Saints' roster during training camp, Nick Underhill of NewOrleans.Football reports.
ANALYSIS
On the surface, this seems like no surprise as Turner has only three sacks across 13 games in his first two NFL seasons. It's still a big fall from grace for the University of Houston product given that the Saints used a first-round pick on him in 2021. Underhill noted that it would be an upset for Turner to not make the team, but the Saints will not hesitate to cut him if there are players performing better than him.
