Kemoko Turay - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Cut by Carolina The Panthers released Turay (hamstring) from IR with a hamstring injury Wednesday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official site reports.

Impact Carolina and Turay haven't closed the door on a reunion down the line, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, but for now the veteran will hit free agency and work to get healthy. The 2018 second-round pick hasn't suited up for NFL action since appearing in three games with the 49ers back in 2022.

Heads to IR The Panthers placed Turay (undisclosed) on injured reserve Monday.

Impact Turay inked a deal with Carolina in late July, but it now appears he's dealing with an undisclosed injury that will force him to miss all of 2024. The Rutgers product's most recent in-game action came with the 49ers in 2022, so he likely wasn't going to see much of the field this year with Carolina even before being placed on IR.

Headed to Carolina The Panthers signed Turay on Friday, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

Impact Turay's most recent regular-season action came with the 49ers in 2022, but he'll now get an opportunity to make a run at a roster spot in Carolina. He has good length and speed, and he could get some run during team reps right away while more than a few Panthers edge rushers deal with injuries.

Not listed on injury report Turay isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report Thursday.

Impact Turay was absent for the team's loss to the Broncos on Sunday night due to a personal matter, but it appears he's since returned to the team and figures to be available for Week 4. However, the 2018 second-round pick has yet to take the field for San Francisco this season, so his return won't have a major impact on the 49ers' defensive game plan.

Won't play Week 3 Turay (personal) isn't expected to play during Sunday's game against the Broncos.

Impact Turay was excused by the team for Sunday night's contest against Denver while he addresses a personal matter. The 253-pound defensive end has yet to take a snap this season, so his absence likely won't affect the 49ers game plan in Week 3.
