Sacks Cousins in Week 10
Turner finished Sunday's 20-17 win over the Falcons with four tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble.
ANALYSIS
Turner logged his second sack of the regular season Sunday when he got to Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter for a five-yard loss, stripping the ball in the process, which was recovered by Drake London. Turner played a season-high 29 snaps on defense, but he's still firmly entrenched as the Saints' No. 4 defensive end behind Cameron Jordan, Carl Granderson and Chase Young. Through nine regular-season games, Turner has logged 13 tackles (eight solo), including 2.0 sacks, three pass defenses and two forced fumbles.

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.
