No yardage on offense in Week 11 Turpin recorded one catch for zero yards on two targets and returned one punt for 14 yards and four kickoffs for 111 yards in Monday's 33-16 win over the Raiders.

Impact For the first time in eight appearances on the season, Turpin failed to account for any yards from scrimmage. Though the two-time Pro Bowl returner will continue to make his greatest impact for Dallas on special teams, he looks like he'll still be a part-time contributor on offense as a gadget player. He was on the field for 23 of the Cowboys' 67 offensive snaps Monday, placing him fourth among wideouts behind CeeDee Lamb, George Pickens and Ryan Flournoy.

Gains 13 total yards on offense Turpin caught two of three targets for 10 yards and rushed once for three yards in Monday's 27-17 loss to the Cardinals. He added 151 kickoff return yards and six punt return yards...

Impact Turpin continued to have a minimal impact on offense Monday, doing most of his damage on kickoff returns. The fourth-year wideout is not involved enough in the Cowboys' offensive plans to garner much fantasy attention, but with Monday's performance on special teams, the TCU product is now fourth in the NFL with 722 kickoff return yards. Turpin will remain extremely difficult to trust for fantasy purposes as the Cowboys head into their Week 10 bye before a matchup against the Raiders in Week 11.

Does little on five targets Turpin caught one of five targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's loss to the Broncos. He added 86 yards on three kickoff returns.

Impact The five targets were third on the Cowboys behind CeeDee Lamb (10) and George Pickens (nine), but Turpin couldn't get on the same page with either of the quarterbacks he got them from, as Joe Milton replaced Dak Prescott late in the 44-24 blowout loss. Turpin's main value to Dallas still comes as a return man, and despite missing two games with a foot injury, the 29-year-old is still fifth in the NFL with 571 kickoff return yards.

Back in usual role Turpin caught his only target for 17 yards and added 80 kickoff return yards and four punt return yards in Sunday's 44-22 win over the Commanders.

Impact After missing the prior two games with a foot issue, Turpin returned to the lineup and resumed his usual role as the Cowboys' top kick returner and depth wideout. He had seen multiple touches on offense in each of his first four games of the season, although not more than six in any contest, so his lack of usage may have had something to do with him being eased back into action. Turpin could see more targets and jet sweep carries in Week 8 if Dallas has any trouble generating yards against a stingy Denver defense, but he's no real threat to the volume of CeeDee Lamb or George Pickens.

Cleared for Week 7 return Turpin (foot) was a full practice participant Friday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

Impact Turpin won't necessarily return to his pre-injury role, as the Cowboys are also getting CeeDee Lamb (ankle) back in the lineup this week and now have Ryan Flournoy as a potential competitor for depth snaps. If nothing else, Turpin will have his familiar role as a return man on special teams and a gadget player on offense. Consistent snaps as the No. 3 receiver are far less certain, though it's something the Cowboys have toyed with a few times.

OCTOBER 17, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Limited again Thursday Turpin (foot) was limited at practice Thursday, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Turpin has now logged back-to-back limited sessions since retaking the practice field Wednesday, meaning he'll likely have to upgrade to full reps Friday in order to avoid an injury designation for Sunday's matchup against the Commanders. If Turpin is able to return to action Week 7, he'll operate as Dallas' top option in the return game and play a depth role at wide receiver.

Returns as limited participant Turpin (foot) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.

Impact This is Turbin's first participation in a practice or game since Week 4, and it comes on the same day as CeeDee Lamb's return to practice. The Cowboys still have a lengthy injury report, but things are at least trending upward on the offensive side, with G Tyler Booker (ankle) also returning to practice Wednesday.

OCTOBER 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Slated to practice Wednesday Coach Brian Schottenheimer said Turpin (foot) is expected to practice Wednesday, Joe Hoyt of The Dallas Morning News reports.

Impact Turpin didn't practice at all in advance of sitting out Weeks 5 and 6 due to a foot injury, so his return in some capacity Wednesday is a sign of progress in his recovery. His activity level will be confirmed once the Cowboys post their first Week 7 practice report.

Chance to return Week 7 Cowboys EVP Stephen Jones said Monday that Turpin (foot) is among injured players who "have a chance" to retake the field Sunday versus the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic...

Impact Turpin has missed back-to-back games due to a lingering foot injury, and he hasn't yet practiced in any capacity in that span. If he's able to resume getting in at least limited on-field reps during Week 7 prep, it seems he'll have a fair shot at returning for Sunday's divisional matchup against Washington. Star wideout CeeDee Lamb (ankle) reportedly also has a chance to get back on the field versus the Commanders.

Remains sidelined Week 6 Turpin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.

Impact Turpin will miss a second consecutive game due to a foot injury he suffered in Week 4 against the Packers. He has yet to practice since sustaining the injury. Jaydon Blue and Jalen Tolbert are expected to return kickoffs and punts, respectively, in Turpin's absence.

OCTOBER 10, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out another practice Turpin (foot) did not practice Thursday, Adam Caplan of SiriusXM NFL Radio reports.

Impact Turpin hasn't practiced in any capacity since suffering a foot injury during the Cowboys' overtime tie with the Packers in Week 4, and he's already stated that he doesn't anticipate suiting up Week 6. With Turpin likely unavailable for Sunday's road game against the Panthers and CeeDee Lamb (ankle) also a candidate to remain sidelined, George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert, Ryan Flournoy and tight end Jake Freguson will continue benefiting from expanded opportunities in the receiving game.

Unlikely to play Week 6 Turpin (foot) said Wednesday he does not anticipate gaining clearance for Sunday's road matchup against the Panthers, Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reports.

Impact Turpin appears on track to miss a second consecutive game due to a lingering foot sprain. Ryan Flournoy, who broke out with six catches for 114 yards one nine targets versus the Jets in Week 5, will again benefit from increased opportunities on offense versus Carolina if Turpin is unable to go, while Jaydon Blue and Jalen Tolbert see an uptick in return work.

OCTOBER 3, 2025 • Associated Press

Sidelined for Week 5 Turpin (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jets, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Turpin didn't practice at all this week while managing a foot sprain and will now miss just his second game since signing with Dallas ahead of the 2022 season. A two-time Pro Bowl selection as a return man, Turpin typically makes his biggest splash on special teams, but he's also taken hold of a larger role on offense in his fourth NFL season. Turpin had averaged 4.3 touches per game over the first four weeks of the campaign, but his absence along with CeeDee Lamb's (ankle) should free up more opportunities for George Pickens, Jalen Tolbert and Ryan Flournoy at receiver.
