Overview
- DJ Turner II, a starting cornerback for the Cincinnati Bengals, suffered a fractured clavicle in the Week 11 game against the Los Angeles Chargers.
- The injury occurred during a pass defense play in the third quarter, leading to Turner's immediate exit from the game.
- Turner, who became a starter in Week 6, is seeking a second opinion but is expected to miss the remainder of the 2024 NFL season.
- The Bengals' defense, already weakened by previous injuries, will now rely on Cam Taylor-Britt and Josh Newton to fill the gap left by Turner.
- Cincinnati's defense ranks 23rd against the pass, and the loss of Turner further complicates their playoff hopes as the team sits at a 4-7 record.
