Payton Turner has turf toe; placed on IR 9/13 (week to week as of 12/8 per Underhill)

It took Penning 12 weeks before he played his first game after his turf toe injury last preseason. I’m expecting the same recovery time or later.

Just read an article on SaintsWire that said the exact same thing. It looks like he will need surgery. So I don't expect him back until about week 14. I read another article where they did a study on the type of artificial turf that Saints and other teams use have the most turf toe injuries than on natural grass. Maybe the Saints ought to look into a different type of artificial turf.
