Question mark vs. Mean Green Turner (undisclosed) is questionable for Tulane's tilt with North Texas in the AAC title game.

Questionable Saturday Turner (undisclosed) is questionable for Saturday's game versus Charlotte.

Impact Turner, who's missed the last two games due to an undisclosed injury, is questionable just two hours before Saturday's kickoff. He likely won't be too involved in the offense even if he's healthy so his availability is not crucial for the Green Wave.

NOVEMBER 22 • ROTOWIRE

Out for Week 11 Turner (undisclosed) is out for Friday's game at Memphis.

Impact Turner is just 21 rushing yards and one touchdown from tying his 2024 season's running stats, but they will not be matched Friday. After the Memphis game, Tulane's team will prepare for a Week 12 matchup against Florida Atlantic.

Slated to start at running back Turner won Tulane's starting running back job, Guerry Smith of Nola.com reports.

Impact Turner was expected to at least head Tulane's running back committee back in May, but it seems he outright won the starting job. The 5-foot-10 Louisville transfer joined the team back in January, and he'll already be making a big impact in the season opener this Saturday against Northwestern. He will still likely share carries with Jamauri McClure and possibly more ball carriers, but Turner looks to be the main guy heading into the season.

The tailback, who's been a rotational member of the Cardinals' backfield for his entire collegiate career, will look to make a bigger mark on the Green Wave running back room with two seasons of eligibility remaining.

DNP for Stanford game Turner (ankle) did not play during Louisville's 38-35 loss Saturday at Stanford.

Impact Both good and bad news came for Turner after he had sat out at Stanford. Obviously, the bad is that he did not play Saturday. But by doing so, Turner can play the remainder of Louisville's 2024 regular season and redshirt it. And considering he could have been available Saturday, perhaps that bodes well for him participating in Louisville's matchup against Pittsburgh on Nov. 23.

NOVEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Could be available Saturday Turner (ankle) could be available for Louisville's game Saturday at Stanford, Matt McGavic of SI.com reports.
