James Turner: Everything you need to know

The Packers waived Turner on Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports. Turner signed with Green Bay in June but will head to waivers. The rookie undrafted free agent first signed with Detroit before being waived, and he will now look to join his third team since April.

Turner was claimed off waivers by the Packers on Thursday, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports. Turner inked a deal with the Lions as an undrafted free agent shortly after the 2024 NFL Draft, but he was ultimately waived earlier in the week. He will now stay within the division and relocate to Green Bay where they already roster two kickers in Anders Carlson and Greg Joseph. The former had an up-and-down season as a rookie in 2023 and will now have to compete against both Joseph and Turner for the kicking job entering the upcoming season.
