So long Turner, we hardly knew ya.

Some players learn how to maneuver their way around the field to avoid injuries, like Cam Jordan, and some guys are just what I call "On-field clumsy" when it comes to injuries, Turner seems to be one of the latter types...Hope he figures it out, either here or somewhere else...

Well I hope him the best in his rehab and hopefully when he comes back he’s able to reach the most of his potential

Hoping for a speedy recovery because I just don't believe the idea that you can prevent these kind of injuries.

As the resident delusional optimist...he can come back before the end of the season, get in game shape in the final regular season games, then shine for us in the playoffs. If we get anything out of him this year to add to Granderson and Jordan, we finally have elite DEs.

I do not know how people are finding fault in injures.

Legitimately forget he’s even on the team.

I've been wondering about Turner. Seems like he was flashing quite a bit in TC. Adding him into the rotation late in the season could be a nice jolt to the pass rush.

I seriously forgot about Turner!

Turner arguably had the best camp. He was making plays every other day in reporters notes. Seeing him go down to turf toe week 1 after perfect attendance in camp wasn’t much of his fault. He’ll step right back into DE3 if he makes it back this year. Wouldn’t mind a rotation with Cam so Turner can rush opposite Granderson at the same time. He consistently generates pressures when he’s available.

I seriously forgot about Turner!

I say that every year.

Seems to me that someone would be able to design a shoe for linemen (or others) that could reduce or eliminate the chance of "turf toe"....

Injury wise this has been our best in like 3 years.

Turf is a sprained ligament. If you figure out a harness to prevent sprains, let's go into business together.
