2025 Fantasy Outlook
The Bears selected Turner in Round 2 of the 2025 NFL Draft after an impressive career at Texas A&M. Despite playing through a leg injury in 2024, he racked up 10.0 sacks and 22.5 tackles for loss in 43 games in college. At 294 pounds, he's lighter than most interior linemen, but his explosive first step, motor, and positional versatility could earn him rotational snaps early in his rookie season . Read Past Outlooks
Signed a four-year contract with the Bears in July of 2025.
On track to play Week 1
Turner (ankle) was not listed on the Bears' estimated injury report Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Turner was sidelined for most of training camp due to an ankle injury that he suffered in late July. His absence from Thursday's estimated report indicates that he's past the issue, and the rookie second-rounder is in line to make his NFL regular-season debut against the Vikings on Monday. Turner is expected to begin the season in a rotational role at defensive tackle behind starters Grady Jarrett and Gervon Dexter.
