Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Dolphins on Friday.
EDGE Analysis
The 2022 fifth-round pick from Nevada spent most of his 2025 campaign with the Titans' practice squad, but he's found a new home in Miami. In Turner's one appearance with the Titans, he failed to record a stat while playing just two special-teams snaps. Now in Miami, he could compete for a depth role at tight end in the offseason.

Turner reverted to the Titans' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Turner played two snaps on special teams without showing up on the box score otherwise during the Titans' 41-7 loss to the Jaguars on Sunday. He spent most of the regular season without a team after being cut by the Commanders at the end of training camp but managed to catch on with the Titans on the practice squad. The 2022 fifth-rounder will be a unrestricted free agent and look to sign with a team in need of a tight end who can also contribute on special teams.

The Titans elevated Turner from the practice squad to the active roster ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Jim Wyatt of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Due to the absence of No. 2 tight end Gunnar Helm (toe), Turner has an opportunity to see some snaps in Sunday's divisional contest. The tight end is in line for a blocking role with the offense and special teams units alongside Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson. If he plays, Sunday will be the first game of Turner's season.

The Titans signed Turner to the practice squad Tuesday, Jim Wyatt of the Titans' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The signing marks Turner's first contract of the regular season after he was waived by the Commanders on Aug. 26. The tight end will be a reserve piece for the Titans, being available for elevation to the active roster behind starters Gunnar Helm, Chig Okonkwo and David Martin-Robinson.

The Commanders waived Turner on Tuesday, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner spent his first two NFL seasons with Washington, recording 13 receptions on 24 targets for 143 yards over 22 regular-season contests. He didn't play at all last year, though, as he spent the entire campaign on the practice squad. He's likely to clear waivers, at which point he'd become a free agent.

Turner signed a reserve/future contract with the Commanders on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner spent the entire 2024 season on the Commanders' practice squad after failing to make the 53-man roster at the conclusion of training camp. The Nevada product has played in 22 regulars-season games since being selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. Turner will be on the Commanders' 90-man roster at the start of the new league year, and he'll use OTAs, minicamp and training camp as an opportunity to earn a spot on the 53-man roster for the 2025 campaign.

Turner signed with the Commanders' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Since being selected by Washington in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft, Turner has played in 22 regular-season games and accrued 13 catches (on 24 targets) for 143 yards over that span. He was unable to crack the Commanders' 53-man roster for the upcoming season, but Turner is be a candidate to be elevated to the active roster should tight ends Zach Ertz, Ben Sinnott, John Bates or Colson Yankoff miss time.

Turner was waived by the Commanders on Tuesday, Zach Selby of the team's official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was unable to crack a Washington tight end depth chart led by veteran Zach Ertz. The third-year pro caught 11 passes for 120 yards in 12 games for the Commanders in 2023.

Turner caught 11 of 15 targets for 120 yards in 12 games during the 2023 season.
EDGE Analysis
There was some spring/summer chatter about Turner potentially supplanting Logan Thomas as Washington's top tight end, but it never came to fruition even after the second-year pro caught seven passes over the first three weeks of the season. Turner caught just four balls the rest of the year and was even a healthy scratch at times, so he'll need to compete for a job in 2024 even if Thomas is released to help clear cap space.

Turner (coach's decision) is a healthy scratch for Sunday's tilt against the 49ers.
EDGE Analysis
Turner played just four offensive snaps (seven percent) in Week 16, and it looks like the Commanders feel comfortable with their tight end depth this week. As a result, his only remaining chance to play again this season will come in Week 18 versus the Cowboys.
