The Raiders signed Turner to a reserve/future contract Monday.
What it means:
Turner sustained an ankle injury during Las Vegas' season opener that landed him on IR for the next four games. The 5-foot-9 receiver then returned Week 7 against Houston and dealt with hamstring and head injuries before he was waived Dec. 17. Turner then re-joined the Raiders via the practice squad, and he ultimately finished the 2022 campaign with one target while primarily playing on special teams across nine games. The 25-year-old will now land his second reserve/future contract with Las Vegas in as many years, leaving him to once again compete for a reserve role heading into the 2023 season.
The Raiders signed Turner to their practice squad Tuesday.
What it means:
Turner, who was waived by Las Vegas on Saturday, has since agreed to return to the team's practice squad and serve as an emergency depth option to the Raiders' wide receiver corps.
The Raiders waived Turner on Saturday.
What it means:
Provided he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Turner is set to become an unrestricted free agent and will have to look for another opportunity with a different team. He failed to haul in his only target in nine games this season, but he did take four carries for 26 yards.
Turner was on the field for two of the Raiders' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.
What it means:
Hunter Renfrow's (oblique) move to injured reserve in advance of the Week 10 contest ultimately didn't result in a notable change in playing time for Turner, who bumped up to fourth on the depth chart at receiver behind Davante Adams, Mack Hollins and Keelan Cole. Turner, a second-year player out of Pittsburgh, has yet to log a target in five appearances on the season but has carried three times for 20 yards.
Turner (head) was not listed on Las Vegas' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
What it means:
Turner exited the Raiders' loss at New Orleans in Week 8 early with a head injury, but he's evidently recovered fully since. The 25-year-old receiver saw the first offensive snaps of his young NFL career in Weeks 7 and 8, and with Davante Adams (illness) and Mack Hollins (heel) both still limited, he could be in line for more of the same Sunday.
Turner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints with a head injury.
What it means:
Turner was officially designated with a face injury, though the exact nature of this issue is unclear. The 5-foot-9 receiver returned one punt and one kickoff before exiting Sunday's contest, and his absence should leave Hunter Renfrow and Ameer Abdullah to handle these responsibilities.
