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

Got injured in 7 snaps. Yikes. I just don't see how you keep him around long term with these injury problems.

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.

When I realized it was a no contact injury I knew it was going to be bad. Curse my know-it-all brain!

Bresee only two less snaps than Shepherd.

Starting soon??

I don't think it'll happen anytime soon. Gotta pace the rookie over the long season. The strength of the position is it's rotational depth. He's still a two down pass rusher. So, I don't see him starting for a few more weeks. Let him take off run support snap that'll only just zap him of his energy for when you need him to pass rush.

I feel sorry for him. I hope he recovers

But…

What the hell, man? How can it be possible draft two DE back to back who are both made of glass?? What are the odds? Foskey needs to get his shirt together pronto

Maybe DA needs to stop going for that body type at end

Cam Jordan was drafted in 2011 and rarely misses a game.

After Brees, Cam is my all-time favorite Saints players. Soo good and soo durable..

...... let's not jinx him

According to his Houston bio, he played in
2017: 11 games
2018: 11 games
2019: 12 games and
2020: 5 (out of 8 games)

So he's has had only 2 of the last 8 years where he didn't miss games
2016 (HS) missed nearly entire senior year due to knee injury
2017 no missed games
2018 missed last two games plus spring and summer due to broken foot
2019 no missed games
2020 missed last 3 games due to foot and knee injuries
2021 (NFL) appears in 5 games before season ending shoulder surgery
2022 missed 9 games due to elbow, calf, chest, and shoulder injuries
2023 leaves first game and needs toe surgery

At least we got 7 snaps out of Turner.

 

[B_doggman47]

Daaaaaaum!!!! He was doing so well. He also brought some good pressure in the game yesterday. I hope he makes it back soon or at least by the 12th week of the season.

I'm absolutely shocked....shocked, I tell ya

This is awful news.

This means Foskey is one step closer to seeing the field and I don't think he's ready. It also means Turner is one step closer to the departure lounge and I'm not sure Foskey is the long term answer.

 

[CajunSaint08]

Feel bad for him. Snakebite.

Forgot exactly what the announcer said, but he has played in approximately 16 games and has missed 21. They guy is just made of glass. Such a shame. So much talent.
