Sticking with Las Vegas The Raiders signed Turner to a reserve/future contract Monday.

Impact Turner sustained an ankle injury during Las Vegas' season opener that landed him on IR for the next four games. The 5-foot-9 receiver then returned Week 7 against Houston and dealt with hamstring and head injuries before he was waived Dec. 17. Turner then re-joined the Raiders via the practice squad, and he ultimately finished the 2022 campaign with one target while primarily playing on special teams across nine games. The 25-year-old will now land his second reserve/future contract with Las Vegas in as many years, leaving him to once again compete for a reserve role heading into the 2023 season.

Back on Raiders' practice squad The Raiders signed Turner to their practice squad Tuesday.

Impact Turner, who was waived by Las Vegas on Saturday, has since agreed to return to the team's practice squad and serve as an emergency depth option to the Raiders' wide receiver corps.

Plays just two snaps Sunday Turner was on the field for two of the Raiders' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.

Impact Hunter Renfrow's (oblique) move to injured reserve in advance of the Week 10 contest ultimately didn't result in a notable change in playing time for Turner, who bumped up to fourth on the depth chart at receiver behind Davante Adams, Mack Hollins and Keelan Cole. Turner, a second-year player out of Pittsburgh, has yet to log a target in five appearances on the season but has carried three times for 20 yards.

Ditches injury report Turner (head) was not listed on Las Vegas' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.

Impact Turner exited the Raiders' loss at New Orleans in Week 8 early with a head injury, but he's evidently recovered fully since. The 25-year-old receiver saw the first offensive snaps of his young NFL career in Weeks 7 and 8, and with Davante Adams (illness) and Mack Hollins (heel) both still limited, he could be in line for more of the same Sunday.

Questionable to return Turner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints with a head injury.

Impact Turner was officially designated with a face injury, though the exact nature of this issue is unclear. The 5-foot-9 receiver returned one punt and one kickoff before exiting Sunday's contest, and his absence should leave Hunter Renfrow and Ameer Abdullah to handle these responsibilities.

Suiting up Sunday Turner (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Saints.

Impact Turner was limited in practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury in his return from IR in Week 7. He'll likely see more snaps on special teams than on offense.

Deemed questionable for Sunday Turner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Turned returned to action in Week 7 following a stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, but he presumably picked up a hamstring issue during the contest, putting his status for Sunday in jeopardy. Turner was limited at all three practices during Week 8 prep and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

Returns from ankle injury Turner rushed for 20 yards on three carries in Sunday's 38-20 win over the Texans. He also returned three kickoffs for 56 yards.

Impact Turner returned from the ankle injury that landed him on injured reserve for four weeks, primarily playing on special teams as he saw the field for just five of the Raiders' 56 offensive snaps Sunday. His role figures to remain limited against the Saints in Week 8.

OCTOBER 24, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Returning Sunday Turner (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Turner suffered the injury Week 1 against the Chargers. His return to the field comes at a good time for the Raiders, as Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are both questionable Sunday against the Texans. If both or even one of them were to sit, Turner could find himself with an increased role.

OCTOBER 23, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Designated to return Wednesday Turner (ankle) was designated to return from injured reserve Wednesday, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.

Impact Turner missed Las Vegas' last four games after being placed on IR with an ankle injury following the team's season opener. The 5-foot-9 wideout has played just one game since signing with the Raiders as an undrafted free agent last year, appearing on seven special-teams snaps in Week 1. Turner now will have a 21-day window to practice and be restored to the team's active roster, or else he'll revert to season-ending IR.

Heads to IR with ankle injury Las Vegas placed Turner (ankle) on injured reserve Wednesday.

Impact The 25-year-old wideout suffered the injury during the Raiders' opener at the Chargers on Sunday, and he'll now have to miss at least the next four games. Turner didn't log an offensive snap in his NFL debut Week 1 against the Chargers, but Las Vegas saw fit to elevate receiver Keelan Cole from its practice squad in a corresponding move regardless.
