Bengals' DJ Turner: Will play vs. Bucs
Turner (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game versus Tampa Bay.
Turner was a limited participant at practice again Friday, but it looks like he'll be okay to suit up in Week 1 anyway. He projects for a huge role in Cincinnati's secondary in 2026, the final year of his rookie contract.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Managing hamstring injury
Turner was limited in practice Thursday due to a hamstring issue, Jay Morrison of SI.com reports.
Turner wasn't listed on Cincinnati's practice report Wednesday, so he may have picked up the hamstring injury during practice. Bengals fans (and fantasy managers who roster any of Tampa Bay's passing-game pieces) may want to keep a keen eye on Friday's practice report and injury designations to get an idea of Turner's chance of suiting up Sunday. Should he not be able to play, Bucs QB Baker Mayfield, along with wideouts Emeka Egbuka and Chris Godwin, could get a bump in projected value.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Scuffles with Chase in practice
Turner (calf) was active in Wednesday's training camp practice, mixing it up with Ja'Marr Chase during 7-on-7 and 11-on-11 drills, Geoff Hobson of the Bengals' official site reports.
Turner suffered a calf injury during the Bengals' regular-season finale against the Browns in 2025, but he was fully active in Wednesday's practice, with the 2023 second-rounder getting into the face of Chase before the two players were separated. Turner downplayed the confrontation, telling reporters after practice "brothers fight all the time. Nothing else to it." He's entering the final year of his four-year rookie deal, but it's unclear whether the talented corner and the Bengals will reach an agreement on a contract extension before the start of the 2026 regular season. Turner finished 2025 with 40 tackles (28 solo), 18 pass defenses (including two interceptions), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery across 17 regular-season games.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Suffers calf injury in loss
Turner suffered a calf injury in Sunday's 20-18 loss to the Browns, Charlie Goldsmith of the Dayton Daily News reports.
Turner sustained the injury late in the second half, and he was ultimately unable to return to action. With Cincinnati's season now over, the cornerback will have plenty of time to recover from the injury during the offseason.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Back to full strength
Turner (illness) did not appear on the injury report Wednesday.
Turner battled through an illness in Week 16, playing a season-low 27 defensive snaps in the team's win over the Dolphins. The cornerback now appears to be back to full strength ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Cardinals.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Questionable to return
Turner (illness) is questionable to return to Sunday's matchup versus the Dolphins.
Turner is dealing with an illness, leaving his status for the rest of the game up in the air. Josh Newton and DJ Ivey should see increased playing time if Turner ends up being unable to return.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Good to suit up Sunday
Turner (illness) is active for Sunday's Week 16 tilt against the Dolphins.
Turner was a late addition to the Bengals' injury report Saturday after getting sick. However, he's feeling well enough to give it a go against Miami. Turner has already logged a career-high defensive snap count this season and is tied for the NFL lead with 17 defensed passes, including two interceptions.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Dealing with illness
Turner (illness) is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
The third-year pro from Michigan was a late addition to the Bengals' injury report and is now in jeopardy of missing Sunday's contest. Turner has been a bright spot in Cincinnati's secondary, recording 36 total tackles and 17 passes defensed, including two interceptions, over 14 appearances this season. If he's sidelined for the Week 16 matchup, expect DJ Ivey and Josh Newton to receive more snaps with the Bengals' first-team defense.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Solid outing in loss
Turner logged four tackles (two solo) in Cincinnati's loss versus the Broncos on Monday.
Turner had a solid outing despite the loss, and he's now racked up 10 tackles (six solo) and an interception across the first four games of the season. The 24-year-old will look to improve upon this performance during the team's Week 5 matchup versus the Lions.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Active for Week 3
Turner (hamstring) is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Turner logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday but was always expected to suit up in Week 3. The 2023 second-round pick will be the Bengals' top CB against Justin Jefferson and the Vikings, as Marco Wilson and DJ Ivey attempt to replace Cam Taylor-Britt (hamstring). Turner has four tackles (two solo) and an interception through two games this season.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Healthy for Week 1
Turner (undisclosed) did not appear on the Bengals' injury report Wednesday, Paul Dehner Jr. of The Athletic reports.
Turner was sidelined for a portion of training camp with an undisclosed injury, but he now appears to be all set to play in Sunday's regular-season opener against the Browns. The 24-year-old is expected to operate as one of the team's starting cornerbacks to open the 2025 campaign.

Bengals' DJ Turner: Sidelined for past week
Turner (undisclosed) has missed the past week of practice and isn't practicing Thursday, Kelsey Conway of the Cincinnati Enquirer reports.
Turner seems unlikely to suit up for Saturday's preseason finale against the Dolphins. Cincinnati's next game after that is the Sept. 7 regular-season opener against the Browns. Turner's expected to start at cornerback when healthy. The 2023 second-round pick has appeared in 28 regular-season games (18 starts) over his first two NFL seasons.
