Payton Turner has turf toe; placed on IR 9/13 (week to week as of 12/8 per Underhill) (3 Viewers)

I didn't know he was still on team. I assumed he was on IR the whole season.

The play he got hurt on he pressured the QB

These guys need better shoes.

Or better turf.

This is good news for a change. Can't wait for Turner to get back on the field. Hope it's by next week.

That's pretty gnarly to have two toe ligaments to explode like that

I think it shows just how much torque these guys put on every joint on their body from play to play.

NFL players have the same problem the wings of jet planes had in the early days, except there's no known way to get the human body to create stronger alloys for human connective tissue and bones.

Who ???

I did not realize that he was still on the team.

When it was reported he was hurt, it was turf toe, which is a sprain of the big toe. How and the heck it's now had two torn toes?

Y'all like to dog on Turner, but his injuries aren't because he's not trying to make plays. Last years was a freak injury after he made a play and then got rolled/stepped on and this one was a freak play as well. It would be great for him to come back and let Cam go into a rotational role. That would be good for the team, but I'm unsure how many on here actually want what is good for the team.

Yeah, because I haven’t heard of grass toe yet

Not dogging on Turner, just never see him. The biggest ability is availability.

Another questionable first round pick.
