Turner had a strong preseason showing, winning at every level of coverage, competing well as a blocker, and displaying more nuance in his route running than arguably any other player in the game.

Though unlikely to make the roster, he did enough to earn practice squad consideration.NegativeProjectionAug 14, 2026
Turner graded 63.6 and appears to have been penalized for things out of his control. The source notes that had he not dealt with several errant passes, his grade would likely be similar to Stribling's, highlighting the difficulty in evaluating receivers on poor throws.PositiveBreakoutAug 14, 2026
Turner was great despite catching only 2 of 6 targets for 23 yards; he could have easily had close to 80 yards had he received accurate throws from Adrian Martinez.

The source calls it an impressive showing for the big-bodied receiver fighting for a roster spot.NegativeRoleAug 14, 2026
