Turner was waived by the Patriots on Friday, Christopher Price of the Boston Sports Journal reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner recorded nine receptions for 126 yards in his rookie season with the Eagles last year. Despite an unimpressive Patriots wide receiver core behind Julian Edelman (suspension) and Chris Hogan, Turner was not able to carve out a spot on the 53-man roster. If Turner clears waivers, he'll attempt to sign elsewhere as a depth receiver or special teams option.

Turner signed a contract with the Patriots on Friday, Field Yates of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner last saw the field during the regular season in 2016 with the Eagles, recording nine receptions for 126 yards as a rookie. After being waived by the Saints in late June, he will try his hand with a Patriots club sporting a group of unimpressive wideouts behind Julian Edelman -- who is suspended to begin the season. However, Turner will likely aim to serve as more of a special-teams player.

Turner was waived by the Saints on Thursday, Nick Underhill of The Baton Rouge Advocate reports.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has spent the offseason with the Saints after being picked up back in January. If he clears waivers he'll be a free agent able to sign with any team as he looks to hang on to a depth receiver and special teams slot in 2018.

The Saints signed Turner to a reserve/future contract Friday, per the league's official transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Turner, who went undrafted out of Lousiana Tech in 2016, spent his rookie season with the Eagles but was waived ahead of the 2017 season opener. The diminutive wide receiver will likely need to make a name on special teams in order to stick with the Saints in 2018.

Turner (shoulder) agreed to an injury settlement Friday, Zach Berman of The Inquirer reports.

Turner (shoulder) won't play in Thursday's matchup with the Dolphins.
EDGE Analysis
Turner has missed a couple weeks due to his shoulder injury and there has been no word on when he'll be able to return. The team reported that he won't dress Thursday, meaning he'll miss his third consecutive exhibition game. Entering camp on the fringe of the roster, Turner's odds of making the team are becomming slimmer with each practice and game he misses.

Turner (shoulder) isn't practicing Wednesday, ESPN.com's Tim McManus reports.
EDGE Analysis
An undrafted rookie last year, Turner shined in the preseason and also caught nine passes in four regular-season appearances, but he seems like a long shot to stick with the team this time around, after the Eagles signed Alshon Jeffery (shoulder) and Torrey Smith and drafted Mack Hollins and Shelton Gibson. The missed practice time won't help Turner's already-slim chances of making the cut.

Turner caught two of four targets for 30 yards during Sunday's season finale against the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Every pass catcher in Sunday's game was overshadowed by Philadelphia TE Zach Ertz (who caught 13 passes for 139 yards and two scores Sunday), and Turner was no different. Even in Jordan Matthews' (ankle) absence, the rookie only finished fifth on the team in targets. With the 2016 season now in the books, Turner will look to build upon his late-season progress in the offseason and carve out a complementary role in the Eagles' passing attack behind Ertz and Matthews in advance of the 2017 campaign.

Turner caught six of eight targets for 80 yards in Sunday's 32-14 loss to the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Turner was not targeted last week in his NFL debut, but he led the team in receiving yardage in this one, thanks in part to an explosive 41-yard catch and run in the third quarter. Jordan Matthews (ankle) did not play and Dorial Green-Beckham left the game to undergo X-rays on his ribs, opening the door for Turner to experience a bump in usage. With his teammates ailing and the Eagles receiving corps struggling as a whole, he could be similarly involved next week against the Redskins.
