Dallas Turner Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Vikings vs Packers game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Nov 17, 2025
Logs another sack in loss
Turner recorded seven total tackles (two solo), including 1.0 sacks, and one pass defended in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Bears.
ANALYSIS
With Jonathan Greenard (shoulder) sidelined Sunday, Turner had an expanded role on the Vikings' defense. He tied his season-high in snaps played (65) and was one of two Vikings to sack Caleb Williams. Turner, a 2024 first-round pick from Alabama, has now recorded 38 total tackles, including 2.5 sacks, and two passes defended over Minnesota's first 10 games this season. He could start opposite Andrew Van Ginkel again in the Week 12 matchup against the Packers if Greenard continues to miss time.

Seven stops in Week 5 win
Turner registered seven tackles (three solo) during the Vikings' 21-17 win over the Browns on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Turner's seven tackles were a season high, and he finished third on the Vikings in stops behind Eric Wilson (nine) and Theo Jackson (eight). Turner has started in each of the Vikings' last four games, but his playing time may decrease after the Vikings' Week 6 bye if Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) is cleared to play in Week 7 against the Chargers on Thursday, Oct. 23.

Ready for Sunday
Turner (illness) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Turner logged a DNP at Thursday's practice due to an illness, but he upgraded to a full go Friday, suggesting he's moved past the issue in time to face the Browns on Sunday. With the 2024 first-round pick back at full health, he's expected to start opposite Jonathan Greenard in Week 5.

DNP with illness Thursday
Turner (illness) did not practice Thursday, Alec Lewis of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
With Andrew Van Ginkel (neck) banged up, Turner has started each of the last three games, and he even played 100 percent of the defensive snaps last Sunday against the Steelers. If Van Ginkel, who has posted back-to-back DNPs this week, is unable to play again, Turner should have another heavy workload against Cleveland, as long as he's healthy himself.

Begins season in reserve role
Turner had three total tackles and two QB hurries in Monday's win at Chicago.
ANALYSIS
Turner played on 29 of the defense's 67 snaps as the 2024 first-round draft pick will begin the season as a reserve edge rusher. He may need an injury to either Andrew Van Ginkel or Jonathan Greenard to see larger role.

Plays depth role in rookie year
Turner racked up 20 tackles (13 solo), including 3.0 sacks, across 16 regular-season games with the Vikings in 2024. He also had one pass defensed and one interception.
ANALYSIS
Turner, the No. 17 overall selection of the 2024 NFL Draft, wraps his rookie season with underwhelming production totals, having been stuck behind Pro Bowlers Andrew Van Ginkel and Jonathan Greenard on the depth chart. Minnesota could part ways with at least one of Van Ginkel or Greenard after the 2025 campaign, the team will have incentive to get Turner more involved on defense as soon as possible. This offense figures to be crucial for Turner's development.

Grabs first career interception
Turner had three total tackles and an interception in Sunday's win at Seattle.
ANALYSIS
It was a surprising interception for an edge rusher as he caught the ball while in full pass coverage. Turner has otherwise underwhelmed in his rookie season as the first-round pick has had a reserve role (playing 16 of 64 snaps in the win) and has just two sacks and 26 total QB pressures in 14 games, according to Pro Football Focus.
Sep 26, 2024
Good to go for Week 4
Turner (knee) was a full participant in Thursday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Turner opened the week as a limited participant in Wednesday's session, but he was able to practice without restrictions Thursday and appears to be ready to return following a one-game absence. Turner has tallied five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, across two regular-season games this year.
Sep 25, 2024
Limited to start week
Turner (knee) was limited during the Vikings' walkthrough session Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Turner picked up a knee injury in Week 2 against the 49ers, which kept him from playing in Week 3 against the Texans. The fact the rookie first-round pick participated in the first session of the week, even in a limited capacity, is a step in the right direction. Turner will have two more chances Thursday and Friday to see the field for practice ahead of the Vikings' NFC North showdown against the Packers on Sunday.
Sep 20, 2024
Won't face Houston
Turner (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans, Dane Mizutani of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner was initially listed as day-to-day after injuring his knee last week against San Francisco, but he's going to miss at least one game. The first-round rookie has five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, through his first two career contests. Jonathan Greenard, Andrew Van Ginkel and Pat Jones will get the bulk of the edge-rushing work versus Houston.
Sep 19, 2024
Doesn't practice Thursday
Turner (knee) did not participate in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Turner is considered day-to-day due to a knee injury he sustained during the Vikings' Week 2 win over the 49ers. Turner has logged back-to-back DNP's to start the week, but he'll have one more chance to see the field Friday. If he's unable to play Sunday against the Texans, then Pat Jones would likely see more defensive snaps as a rotational pass rusher.
Sep 16, 2024
Viewed as day-to-day
Head coach Kevin O'Connell told reporters Monday that Turner is day-to-day with a knee injury, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner played 18 defensive snaps and recorded two total tackles before leaving Minnesota's Week 2 win with a knee injury. If Turner is forced to miss time, expect Pat Jones to see more work on the Vikings' defense as a rotational edge rusher.

Dealing with knee injury
Turner sustained a knee injury in the fourth quarter of Sunday's 23-17 win over the 49ers, Ben Goessling of the Minneapolis Star Tribune reports.
ANALYSIS
Turner sustained the injury during the Vikings' final defensive series of Sunday's game, and he finished the contest with two tackles (one solo). Head coach Kevin O'Connell said after Sunday's win that he doesn't believe Turner's knee issue is long-term. Turner's status for Week 3 against the Packers will be more clear when the Vikings' first injury report of the week is released.

Get sack in pro debut
Turner started at edge linebacker and had a sack and two QB hits in Saturday's preseason win over Las Vegas
ANALYSIS
Turner started with Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel sitting out. The 2024 first-round pick may not begin the season as a starter, but he's likely to get significant playing time in a rotation at edge rusher.
