Turner had three total tackles and an interception in Sunday's win at Seattle. It was a surprising interception for an edge rusher as he caught the ball while in full pass coverage. Turner has otherwise underwhelmed in his rookie season, as the first-round pick has had a reserve role (playing 16 of 64 snaps in the win) and has just two sacks and 26 total QB pressures in 14 games, according to Pro Football Focus.

Turner had three total tackles and an interception in Sunday's win at Seattle. It was a surprising interception for an edge rusher as he caught the ball while in full pass coverage. Turner has otherwise underwhelmed in his rookie season, as the first-round pick has had a reserve role (playing 16 of 64 snaps in the win) and has just two sacks and 26 total QB pressures in 14 games, according to Pro Football Focus.
Turner (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session. Turner opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's session, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday and appears to be ready to return following a one-game absence. Turner has tallied five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, across two regular-season games this year.
Turner (knee) was limited during the Vikings' walkthrough session Wednesday. Turner picked up a knee injury in Week 2 against the 49ers, which kept him from playing in Week 3 against the Texans. The fact the rookie first-round pick participated in the first session of the week, even in a limited capacity, is a step in the right direction. Turner will have two more chances Thursday and Friday to see the field for practice ahead of the Vikings' NFC North showdown against the Packers on Sunday.
Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports. Turner was initially listed as day-to-day after injuring his knee last week against San Francisco, but he's going to miss at least one game. The first-round rookie has five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, through his first two career contests. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel and Pat Jones will get the bulk of the edge-rushing work versus Houston.
Turner (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Turner is considered day-to-day due to a knee injury he sustained during the Vikings' Week 2 win over the 49ers. Turner has logged back-to-back DNP's to start the week, but he'll have one more chance to see the field Friday. If he's unable to play Sunday against the Texans, then Pat Jones would likely see more defensive snaps as a rotational pass rusher.
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Turner is day-to-day with a knee injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Turner played 18 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles before leaving Minnesota's Week 2 win with a knee injury. If Turner is forced to miss time, expect Pat Jones to see more work on the Vikings' defense as a rotational edge rusher.
Turner sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-17 win over the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports. Turner sustained the injury during the Vikings' final defensive series of Sunday's game, and he finished the contest with two tackles (one solo). Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win that he doesn't believe Turner's knee issue is long-term. Turner's status for Week 3 against the Packers will be clearer when the Vikings' first injury report of the week is released.
Turner started at edge linebacker and had a sack and two QB hits in Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas Turner started with Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel sitting out. The 2024 first-round pick may not begin the season as a starter, but he's likely to get significant playing time in a rotation at edge rusher.
