DJ Turner: Leaving Las Vegas
Turner (undisclosed) was removed from the Raiders' injured reserve Thursday with an injury settlment, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Turner was competing for a role providing depth at receiver before getting sidelined with an undisclosed injury. Now that he and the team have reached an injury settlement, the 26-year-old pass catcher will be free to look for a new opportunity. He failed to make a reception during his rookie campaign in Las Vegas but did record four rushes for 26 yards across nine games.

DJ Turner: Waived with an injury designation
The Raiders (undisclosed) waived Turner with an injury designation Saturday.
Turner signed a reserve/future deal with the Raiders in January after primarily playing special teams across nine appearances in 2022. The undrafted product out of Pittsburgh was competing for a roster spot during training camp before suffering the undisclosed injury. If Turner clears waivers, he'll revert to the Raiders' injured reserve and be forced to miss the entire 2023 campaign unless he reaches an injury settlement.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Sticking with Las Vegas
The Raiders signed Turner to a reserve/future contract Monday.
Turner sustained an ankle injury during Las Vegas' season opener that landed him on IR for the next four games. The 5-foot-9 receiver then returned Week 7 against Houston and dealt with hamstring and head injuries before he was waived Dec. 17. Turner then re-joined the Raiders via the practice squad, and he ultimately finished the 2022 campaign with one target while primarily playing on special teams across nine games. The 25-year-old will now land his second reserve/future contract with Las Vegas in as many years, leaving him to once again compete for a reserve role heading into the 2023 season.

DJ Turner: Done in Las Vegas
The Raiders waived Turner on Saturday.
Provided he's not claimed by another team during the current waiver period, Turner is set to become an unrestricted free agent and will have to look for another opportunity with a different team. He failed to haul in his only target in nine games this season, but he did take four carries for 26 yards.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Plays just two snaps Sunday
Turner was on the field for two of the Raiders' 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 25-20 loss to the Colts.
Hunter Renfrow's (oblique) move to injured reserve in advance of the Week 10 contest ultimately didn't result in a notable change in playing time for Turner, who bumped up to fourth on the depth chart at receiver behind Davante Adams, Mack Hollins and Keelan Cole. Turner, a second-year player out of Pittsburgh, has yet to log a target in five appearances on the season but has carried three times for 20 yards.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Ditches injury report
Turner (head) was not listed on Las Vegas' injury report Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Jacksonville, Vincent Bonsignore of the Las Vegas Review-Journal reports.
Turner exited the Raiders' loss at New Orleans in Week 8 early with a head injury, but he's evidently recovered fully since. The 25-year-old receiver saw the first offensive snaps of his young NFL career in Weeks 7 and 8, and with Davante Adams (illness) and Mack Hollins (heel) both still limited, he could be in line for more of the same Sunday.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Suiting up Sunday
Turner (hamstring) is active Sunday against the Saints.
Turner was limited in practice all week after suffering a hamstring injury in his return from IR in Week 7. He'll likely see more snaps on special teams than on offense.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Questionable to return
Turner is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Saints with a head injury.
Turner was officially designated with a face injury, though the exact nature of this issue is unclear. The 5-foot-9 receiver returned one punt and one kickoff before exiting Sunday's contest, and his absence should leave Hunter Renfrow and Ameer Abdullah to handle these responsibilities.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Deemed questionable for Sunday
Turner (hamstring) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Saints, Rachel Gossen of the Raiders' official site reports.
Turned returned to action in Week 7 following a stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury, but he presumably picked up a hamstring issue during the contest, putting his status for Sunday in jeopardy. Turner was limited at all three practices during Week 8 prep and will likely be a game-time decision ahead of Sunday's 1:00 PM ET kickoff.

Raiders' DJ Turner: Returning Sunday
Turner (ankle) was activated from injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Turner suffered the injury Week 1 against the Chargers. His return to the field comes at a good time for the Raiders, as Hunter Renfrow (hip) and Mack Hollins (heel) are both questionable Sunday against the Texans. If both or even one of them were to sit, Turner could find himself with an increased role.
