2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears selected Turner in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft after an impressive career at Texas A&M. Despite playing through a leg injury in 2024, he racked up 10.0 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss in 43 games in college. At 294 pounds, he's lighter than most interior linemen, but his explosive first step, motor, and positional versatility could earn him rotational snaps early in his rookie season . Read Past Outlooks

Misses Friday's practice
Turner (ankle) did not participate in Friday's practice, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner limped off the field during Wednesday's practice after injuring his ankle, and the rookie second-rounder remained sidelined during Friday's session. The severity of the injury isn't clear, but he'll continue to work off to the side before being given the green light to return to individual and team drills. Turner is expected to serve in a rotational role at defensive tackle behind Gervon Dexter and Grady Jarrett during the upcoming season.
