Still nursing knee injury
Tunrer (knee) was listed as a limited participant on Monday's practice estimation.
ANALYSIS
Turner played through his knee injury in the Saints' Week 6 loss to the Buccaneers, recording one tackle across 38 total snaps (13 defensive and 25 on special teams). The 2021 first-round pick will likely continue playing through injury in Thursday night's Week 7 matchup against the Broncos unless he downgrades to no participation either Tuesday or Wednesday.

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.
