KaVontae Turpin — Questionable
Turpin continues to miss practice with a rib injury he picked up in the Cowboys' Week 6 loss to the Packers. If the team's main returner continues to miss sessions, Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo should continue to return kicks in Week 8 against the Cardinals.
KaVontae Turpin — Out
Turpin was held out of practice all week due to a rib injury that he picked up against the Packers this past Sunday. He'll miss his first game of the regular season, and his absence means Tyler Goodson and Jonathan Mingo will likely serve as the Cowboys' returners on kickoffs and punts. Turpin's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Cardinals on Sunday, Nov. 1.
KaVontae Turpin — Questionable
Turpin is not expected to be available for Monday's game at Philadelphia, so it doesn't come as a big surprise that he's unable to practice as the Cowboys begin preparing for the Week 7 tilt. Unless he returns to practice Friday or Saturday, he should be expected to be out come Monday.
KaVontae Turpin — Questionable
Turpin suffered an injury to his ribs on the opening kickoff during the team's loss to the Packers on Sunday night. The wide receiver now appears to be on track to miss at least one game while recovering from the injury. His absence would primarily impact the team on special teams versus Philadelphia.
KaVontae Turpin — Questionable
Turpin has been sidelined since the first play of the game and he will now be forced to miss the remainder of Week 6. In his absence, running back Tyler Goodson has taken over as the team's kick returner while wide receiver Jonathan Mingo has been handling the team's punt returns.
Cowboys returner KaVontae Turpin injures rib on opening kickoff vs. Packers
Cowboys Pro Bowl returner Turpin suffered a rib injury on his opening kickoff return after he was tackled awkwardly.
KaVontae Turpin — Out
Turpin suffered an injury to his ribs during the game's opening kickoff, and his status for the rest of the contest is now unclear. In Turpin's absence, Dallas will have to find replacements at both kick returning and punt returning vs. the Packers.
KaVontae Turpin — Active
Right after the Buccaneers took a 21-10 lead midway through the third quarter, Turpin gave the ball right back to Tampa Bay on the ensuing kickoff after the ball was stripped from his hands, which led to a 41-yard field goal by Chase McLaughlin eight plays later. Turpin's receiving numbers were all season highs, though that was largely due to top wideout CeeDee Lamb leaving the game due to a quad bruise. Given the extra rest, Lamb is expected to play against the Packers on Sunday, Oct. 18, so most of Turpin's on-field impact will continue to come on special teams as a returner.
