Questionable
Injury Quadriceps
Est. Return 5/1/2024
Lands on IR
Turner (quadriceps) was placed on injured reserve Monday.
ANALYSIS
Turner suffered a torn quadriceps during practice Friday, which will force him to miss the upcoming season. He had just signed a one-year contract with the team Tuesday and was expected to compete for a depth role on New Orleans' offensive line. Instead, the 30-year-old will turn his focus to getting healthy and being ready to compete in 2024.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Lost for season
Turner, who signed with the Saints earlier this week, tore his quadriceps during Friday's practice and will miss the remainder of the season, Adam Schefter of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The five-time Pro Bowler was brought in as quality insurance at guard, but the Saints will have to find other alternatives following Friday's developments. Turner is still only 30 years old, so he's likely to find at least a modest market for his services next season once he's back to full health.

2021
2015
2014
Turner was named to five straight Pro Bowls (2015-19) with the Panthers and hopes to find similar success reuniting with coach Ron Rivera in Washington. However, the 29-year-old guard had to settle for a one-year, $3 million contract after an injury-plagued 2020 in Los Angeles and a mediocre 2021 in Pittsburgh. Turner and Wes Schweitzer figure to compete for a starting job.
