Will play vs. Broncos Turner (knee) carries no injury designation ahead of Thursday's game against the Broncos.
Impact Turner was held out of the Saints' Week 5 contest against the Chiefs due to a knee injury. He managed to play through the issue Sunday against the Buccaneers, and even on a short week, Turner is slated to suit up for Thursday's contest. He's provided rotational depth at defensive end this year and has accumulated five tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, one pass defended and one forced fumble across five regular-season games.

In uniform Friday Turner (toe) was in uniform for Friday's practice, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Impact Turner being back in uniform just one day after his toe issue was reported is a positive sign towards his availability for Sunday's preseason closer against the Titans and the regular season altogether. The defensive end was on IR for the majority of the 2023 season turf toe injury he sustained in Week 1, but head coach Dennis Allen did report that this injury was just a flare up.
AUGUST 23, 2024 • ROTOWIRE
Nursing toe injury Head coach Dennis Allen told reporters Thursday that Turner is dealing with a toe injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Turner played in just two regular-season games in 2023 due to a turf toe injury he sustained in Week 1. Allen noted that the injury is just a flare up, and he didn't indicate that Turner would be out for a significant amount of time. Turner has played in just 15 regular-season games since being drafted by New Orleans in the first round of the 2021 NFL Draft.

Dealing with toe injury Turner didn't practice Sunday due to a toe injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Impact Saints head coach Dennis Allen believes the injury is related to the one Turner suffered in Week 1 last season, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. That issue limited Turner to just two games during the campaign, though it's not clear if his current injury puts at him at risk of another extended absence.

Healthy heading into training camp Turner underwent back surgery in the offseason but will be ready to participate from the start of training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Turner missed the vast majority of last season due to a turf toe injury he suffered in Week 1, though he did manage to suit up for the Saints' Week 18 win over Atlanta. Injuries have derailed the defense end's career to this point, as he's yet to play in more than eight contests in any of his three NFL campaigns. Turner said Tuesday that he's "feeling healthy right now," and he's currently set to play a rotational role for the Saints in the coming season.

Plays two games in 2023 Payton Turner logged one tackle while playing two games during the 2023 regular season.
Impact Turner sustained a significant toe injury during the season opener and was sidelined on IR until the Week 18 win over Atlanta. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick was significantly hampered by injury for the third season in a row, as he's now appeared in just 15 games during his career. The 2024 campaign will likely serve as a make-or-break season for Turner in New Orleans.
