Turner (back) is considered week-to-week, head coach Sean McVay revealed Thursday, Greg Beachum of The Associated Press reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's injury will keep him out of Saturday's preseason opener against the Cowboys, and possibly beyond then. He has exactly one month to recover before the Rams kick off regular-season play Sept. 7 against the Texans.

Turner did not participate in Saturday's practice due to a back injury, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has been an integral part of the Rams' defensive front over his first two NFL campaigns and has recorded 17.0 sacks while playing in every single regular-season game over that span. He's currently working through a back issue, and given that it's training camp, he'll likely be limited to sideline work until he's fully recovered from the injury. That could mean that Turner is held out of the Rams' preseason opener against the Cowboys on Saturday. Ty Hamilton and Desjuan Johnson should see more work with the first-team defense opposite Braden Fiske while Turner is out, with Larrell Murchison, Jack Heflin and Decarius Hawthorne also in line to see additional practice reps.

Turner finished the 2024 regular season with 62 tackles (35 solo), including 8.0 sacks, four pass defenses, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across 17 games. He also logged 10 tackles (seven solo), including 3.0 sacks, in the Rams' two playoff games.
EDGE Analysis
Turner's regular-season production mirrored his output during his rookie season in 2023. The second-year defensive tackle made his presence felt in the playoffs, particularly in the Rams' NFC wild-card win against the Vikings when he sacked Sam Darnold twice. Turner, Braden Fiske (knee), Byron Young and Jared Verse will man a formidable Rams' pass rush for the 2025 campaign.

EDGE Analysis
The second-year defensive end saw his typical usage on defense, but only managed a single tackle, combining with Jared Verse on a tackle of Breece Hall in the second quarter. Turner sits with 61 tackles (34 solo) and 7.0 sacks on the season heading into a Week 17 contest against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis
The pair of sacks were the first since Week 10 against the Dolphins for the sophomore defensive end, who increased his total to 7.0 for the season. Turner will look to put pressure on Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in Week 16.

Turner recorded six tackles (five solo), including 1.0 sacks, and a pass defended during Sunday's 23-15 loss to the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
The second-year defensive end got to Tua Tagovailoa in the fourth quarter, and Turner tacked on his second pass defended on the season, tying the amount he had in 17 games during his rookie campaign last season. Turner will look to add to his sack total against Drake Maye and the Patriots in Week 11.

Turner recorded six tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, and added another two quarterback hits in Sunday's 26-20 overtime win against Seattle.
EDGE Analysis
Turner tied for third on Los Angeles in stops and tied for the team lead in quarterback hits. His sack was a big one, as he brought down Geno Smith on a third-down play early in the fourth quarter to force the Seahawks to punt. Turner has 4.0 sacks through eight games on the season after racking up 9.0 sacks over 17 regular-season contests as a rookie last year.
