DNP for Stanford game Turner (ankle) did not play during Louisville's 38-35 loss Saturday at Stanford.

Impact Both good and bad news came for Turner after he had sat out at Stanford. Obviously, the bad is that he did not play Saturday. But by doing so, Turner can play the remainder of Louisville's 2024 regular season and redshirt it. And considering he could have been available Saturday, perhaps that bodes well for him participating in Louisville's matchup against Pittsburgh on Nov. 23.

Could be back on practice field Louisville's head coach Jeff Brohm announced Monday that Turner (ankle) could be "back on the practice field" this week, Matt McGavic of Sports Illustrated reports.

Impact Turner being back on Louisville's practice field this week would assure him of at least a shot to participate in the next U of L game. However, there is no return timetable for Turner, so him immediately practicing is not a certainty.

OCTOBER 14 • ROTOWIRE

DNP for Saturday game Turner (ankle) did not play during Louisville's 24-20 win at Virginia on Saturday.

Impact Louisville not using Turner at Virginia benefited two of Louisville's freshmen, Isaac Brown and Duke Watson. Both updated their career highs for carries Saturday. Turner will be out until further notice.

Not on depth chart for Week 5 Turner (undisclosed) is not on the depth chart for Saturday's game at Notre Dame and is not expected to be available, Matthew McGavic of SI.com reports.

Impact The absence of Turner on the depth chart means the Cardinals will likely go with Donald Chaney as their starting running back, while Keyjuan Brown and Isaac Brown will operate as backups and potential change-of-pace threats. Turner's next chance to feature would come against SMU on Oct. 5 if he ends up being ruled out of the matchup against Notre Dame.

Ruled out Saturday Turner will not play in Saturday's game against Georgia Tech, Alexis Cubit of The Louisville Courier-Journal reports.

Impact It's unclear what's forcing Turner out of action, as he's handled 16 carries for 87 yards and a score over the team's first two games. With Turner out, the Cardinals will need to turn to Keyjuan Brown and Isaac Brown to handle the bulk of the carries out of the backfield as Donald Chaney is still recovering from an ankle injury suffered in Week 2.

SEPTEMBER 21 • ROTOWIRE

Listed as starter for Week 1 Turner is listed as Louisville's starter for Week 1, per Alexis Cubit of The Louisville Courier-Journal.
