During Sunday night’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers, promising upstart cornerback DJ Turner went down with an injury while impressively defending a pass attempt and didn’t return to the game.

Now, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport has revealed that Turner will likely miss the rest of the season with a fractured clavicle.

Turner, a second-round pick in 2023, stepped up and into a starting role while Cam Taylor-Britt and others struggled. While nobody outside of Trey Hendrickson has been truly great on the defense this year, the Michigan product was showing flashes of long-term starter upside.

Now, Turner’s ascent goes on hold and the Bengals will need to search for answers at a position that already lost impressive former first-rounder Dax Hill to a season-ending injury, too.
