DJ Turner II - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates | FOX Sports

Appears in 11 games in 2024 Turner (collarbone) finished the 2024 season with 29 tackles (24 solo) and eight pass breakups across 11 games with Cincinnati.

Impact The No. 60 overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft, Turner started six of the 11 games in which he appeared but missed the final six contests with a broken collarbone, landing him on injured reserve. He took over as an every-down outside cornerback in Week 5 and held the position until his injury in Week 11. It's unclear what the Bengals' plans are at cornerback going into 2025, but this defense needs upgrades at all three levels after the team allowed the fourth-most passing touchdowns in the NFL, leading to the firing of DC Lou Anarumo.

Broken collarbone confirmed Turner sustained a fractured clavicle during Sunday's game against the Chargers and will be placed on injured reserve, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.

Impact As Cincinnati feared, Turner broke his clavicle in Week 11, and there's a good chance he'll have to miss the remainder of the season as a result. His departure opens up a starting spot at corner which could be filled by rookie fifth-rounder Josh Newton.

Likely out for season Turner is feared to have sustained a fractured clavicle in Sunday's game against the Chargers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact The 2023 second-rounder was settling into a starting role at cornerback, but now it looks like his second season is probably going to get cut short. If that ends up being the case, rookie fifth-rounder Josh Newton would figure to step up as a starter.

Questionable to return Sunday Turner has a right shoulder injury and is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chargers.

Impact The cornerback fell to the turf after breaking up a pass intended for Los Angeles wide receiver Quentin Johnston. Turner recorded a solo tackle and three total pass breakups before exiting. Josh Newton is his backup.

Likely starting moving forward Turner is the top candidate to fill in for the injured Dax Hill (knee) on the Bengals' defense, Ben Baby of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The 2022 first-round pick filled in for Hill when he exited Cincinnati's 41-38 loss to the Ravens in Week 5, and Turner is expected to remain in the Bengals' first-team defense with Hill out for the remainder of the season. Turner has accumulated 63 total tackles, including 1.0 sacks, and defended nine passes across his first 23 NFL games. He'll aim to bolster a Cincinnati defense that currently ranks bottom-10 in the NFL in points allowed per game (29.0), yards per pass attempt (6.9) and yards per play (5.6).
