Reverts to IR Turner (undisclosed) reverted to the Dolphins' injured-reserve list Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact The tight end was waived/injured by Miami on Wednesday. Now that he has cleared waivers and moved to IR, Turner will need to reach an injury settlement with the Dolphins to have a chance to play in 2026. The former Titan and Commander has 13 catches for 143 yards and no touchdowns across three NFL seasons.

Waived/injured by Miami The Dolphins waived/injured Turner (undisclosed) on Wednesday.

Impact Turner will now be subject to waivers, and if he clears will revert to the Dolphins' injured reserve list. If the tight end reverts to IR, he will spend the entirety of the 2026 regular season there unless he is waived with an injury settlement. The Dolphins signed running back Coleman Bennett in a corresponding move.

Headed to Miami Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Dolphins on Friday.

Impact The 2022 fifth-round pick from Nevada spent most of his 2025 campaign with the Titans' practice squad, but he's found a new home in Miami. In Turner's one appearance with the Titans, he failed to record a stat while playing just two special-teams snaps. Now in Miami, he could compete for a depth role at tight end in the offseason.

Reverts to practice squad Turner reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Turner played two snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise during the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He spent most of the regular season without a team after being cut by the Commanders at the end of training camp but managed to catch on with the Titans on the practice squad. The 2022 fifth-rounder will be a unrestricted free agent and look to sign with a team in need of a tight end who can also contribute on special teams.

Elevated for Week 18 The Titans elevated Turner from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.

Impact Due to the absence of No. 2 tight end Gunnar Helm (toe), Turner has an opportunity to see some snaps in Sunday's divisional contest. The tight end is in line for a blocking role with the offense and special teams units alongside Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson. Sunday will be the 25-year-old's first game of the season.

Signs with Tennessee practice squad The Titans signed Turner to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.

Impact The signing marks Turner's first contract of the regular season after being waived by the Commanders on Aug. 26. The tight end will be a reserve piece for the Titans, being available for elevation to the active roster behind starters Gunnar Helm, Chig Okonkwo, and David Martin-Robinson.

Let go by Washington The Commanders waived Turner on Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Turner spent his first two NFL seasons with Washington, recording 13 receptions on 24 targets for 143 yards over 22 regular-season contests. He didn't play at all last year, though, as he spent the entire campaign on the practice squad. He's likely to clear waivers, at which point he'd become a free agent.

Signs futures deal with Washington Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Commanders on Tuesday.

Impact Turner spent the entire 2024 season on the Commanders' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. The Nevada product has played in 22 regulars-season games since being selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Turner will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster at the start of the new league year, and he'll use OTAs, minicamp and training camp as an opportunity to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

Sticks around with Commanders Turner signed with the Commanders' practice squad Wednesday.

Impact Since being selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Turner has played in 22 regular-season games and accrued 13 catches (on 24 targets) for 143 yards over that span. He was unable to crack the Commanders' 53-man roster for the upcoming season, but Turner is be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should tight ends Zach Ertz, Ben Sinnott, John Bates or Colson Yankoff miss time.

AUGUST 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Waived by Washington Turner was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.

Impact Turner was unable to crack a Washington tight end depth chart led by veteran Zach Ertz. The third-year pro caught 11 passes for 120 yards in 12 games for the Commanders in 2023.

Inactive Sunday Turner (coach's decision) will not play in Sunday's matchup with the Rams.

Impact Turner's absence will be his third missed game of the season. With Logan Thomas and John Bates healthy, the Commanders will opt to add depth at a different position.

DECEMBER 17, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Won't play Week 8 Turner (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Eagles.

Impact Turner played in the first seven games of the season and has accrued eight catches on 12 targets for 82 yards while also contributing on special teams. The Commanders will operate with two tight ends -- Logan Thomas and John Bates -- for Week 8.

Commanders offseason wrap: Did they do enough to become a playoff team?

Commanders Cole Turner Looking to Bounce Back From Injury Washington Commanders second-year tight end Cole Turner looks to be fully healthy and ready to contribute to Eric Bieniemy’s offense.

JUNE 20, 2023 • NEWSOBSERVER.COM

Finishes year with two catches Turner finished the 2022 season with two catches for 23 yards in 10 games.

Impact The rookie fifth-round pick out of Nevada took 51 percent of Washington's offensive snaps Week 5 (his NFL debut) and 93 percent Week 6. Both of Turner's receptions came in the latter contest, and while he made eight appearances thereafter and saw four more targets, he didn't catch another pass once the Commanders got John Bates and then Logan Thomas back from injuries. Turner turns 23 in March and could be in the mix for the passing-down role next year, especially if Thomas is released this offseason (which would add up to $6.9 million in cap space for Washington, per OverTheCap).

JANUARY 16, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Picks up one target in Week 13 Turner played 20 of the Commanders' 60 snaps on offense and failed to haul in his lone target in Washington's 19-13 win over Atlanta on Sunday.

Impact With Armani Rogers (knee) moving to injured reserve Nov. 19, Turner has been able to dress as the Commanders' No. 3 tight end for both of the team's last two games. He's picked up a target in both contests, but he's unlikely to see his role expand much in the stretch run of the season while both Logan Thomas and John Bates are available.

Healthy scratch again Turner (coach's decision) has been ruled inactive for Monday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Turner will be a healthy scratch for the second week in a row after falling out of the Commanders' crowded corps of tight ends. His next chance to play will come Sunday against the Texans.

NOVEMBER 14, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Healthy scratch Sunday Turner (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Vikings.

Impact Turner was in concussion protocols earlier in the week, but he had gained clearance to play. However, with Logan Thomas' return last Sunday against the Colts, Turner finds himself on the outside looking in, on the team's positional depth chart.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Clears concussion protocol Turner (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Vikings, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

Impact Turner has cleared the NFL's five-step concussion protocol and will see game action for the first time since suffering the concussion in Week 7 against the Packers. Washington has battled injuries at tight end, but with the team's top options at the position having regained health, Turner will likely be used primarily on special teams while playing sparingly, if at all, on offense.

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices in full Thursday Turner (concussion) was listed as a full participant on the Commanders' injury report Thursday.

Impact Turner returned to practice in a limited fashion Wednesday, marking his first activity since suffering a concussion against the Packers in Week 7. While he appears to be rapidly progressing toward a return, the rookie tight end will still need to officially clear the league protocol in order to suit up for Sunday's game against the Vikings. Turner will have one more practice to improve his status before this Week 9 contest.

NOVEMBER 3, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited Wednesday Turner (concussion) was a limited participant during Wednesday's practice, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Turner suffered a concussion during the team's Week 7 win over the Packers and was unable to practice before being ruled out for Week 8. It's an encouraging sign to see the tight end back practicing, albeit in a limited fashion, but he'll likely have to log at least one full session before returning to game action.

NOVEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out for Week 8 Turner (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's matchup against the Colts, Nicki Jhabvala of The Washington Post reports.

Impact Turner suffered the concussion against the Packers in Week 7 and was unable to practice during Week 8 prep, so it's not surprising to see him ruled out. Starting tight end Logan Thomas (calf) is listed as questionable and could potentially return from a three-game absence, but if Thomas remains sidelined, Armani Rogers and John Bates would be in line for increased roles once again.
