Turner was cut from the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner signed with San Francisco's practice squad Oct. 23, but it now appears the team has decided to move in another direction. The Illinois product most recently appeared in two regular-season games with the 49ers in 2022, playing almost strictly on special teams (49 of 50 total snaps on special teams). In a corresponding move, the 49ers signed veteran wide receiver Russell Gage to their practice squad.

Turner was signed to the 49ers' practice squad Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was let go by San Francisco in August with an injury settlement, but he will now return to the team. With Brandon Aiyuk (knee) done for the season, Turner will provide the 49ers with another depth option at wide receiver down the stretch.

The 49ers released Turner from injured reserve with an injury settlement Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was placed on San Francisco's injured reserve Tuesday with an unspecified injury, and he was set to miss the entire 2024 campaign until reaching a settlement two days later. Once healthy, the 28-year-old wide receiver out of Illinois will look to catch onto another team's roster, most likely on the practice squad.

The 49ers placed Turner (undisclosed) on injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner signed a one-year deal with the 49ers on July 25, but he will now be forced to miss the entire 2024 season unless he is waived with an injury settlement. Turner last saw NFL action in 2022 with San Francisco, when he played 49 snaps on special teams across three regular-season outings.

The 49ers signed Turner to a one-year deal Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
With Trent Williams holding out, it opened up a roster spot in San Francisco. Turner appeared in three games for the Niners in 2022 but was out of the league last season after spending most of last summer with the Colts. Turner is now 28 years old and has 29 career catches across 44 contests.

Arizona worked out Turner (undisclosed) Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first action Turner has seen since he was cut by Indianapolis prior to Week 1. The Cardinals are relatively thin at the wide receiver position, so it makes some sense that they're looking to bolster their roster there.

Turner (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Colts with an injury settlement Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner landed on IR with an undisclosed injury, and it remains unclear what he is dealing with. However, he will now be free to play again this season once his health is back up to par. The 27-year-old journeyman has had stints with the Seahawks, Cowboys and 49ers previously in his five-year career.

The Colts placed Turner (undisclosed) on injured reserve Friday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
The nature of Turner's injury is not known at this time. He is now in line to miss the remainder of the 2023 season unless he and the Colts come to terms on an injury settlement down the line. The 27-year-old was competing for a role providing depth at wide receiver before this move.

The Colts signed Turner to a contract Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Turner appeared in three games with the 49ers last season, but he wasn't targeted. He also spent time on the Texans' and Raiders' practice squads. The five-year veteran will now compete to carve out a depth and special-teams role in Indianapolis.

Houston signed Turner to its practice squad Friday.
EDGE Analysis
Just a few days after being cut from the Raiders' practice squad, Turner has already found another opportunity to make an impression with the Texans. With Nico Collins (foot) recently having landed on the injured reserve list and Brandin Cooks (calf) and Chris Moore (foot) both questionable for Week 16, Turner could see himself elevated to the active roster sooner rather than later.
