Turner (toe) was fully participating in Friday's practice, including during 11-on-11 drills, Mike Triplett of NewOrleans.Football reports.
Turner being back in uniform and participating fully just one day after his toe issue resurfacing is a positive sign for his availability in the weeks ahead. The defensive end was on IR for the majority of the 2023 season due to the turf toe injury he sustained in Week 1, but head coach Dennis Allen did report that this injury was just a flare up.

Turner didn't practice Sunday due to a toe injury, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Saints head coach Dennis Allen believes the injury is related to the one Turner suffered in Week 1 last season, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com.

Saints' Payton Turner: Healthy heading into training camp
Turner underwent back surgery in the offseason but will be ready to participate from the start of training camp, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Turner missed the majority of last season due to a turf toe injury he suffered in Week 1, though he did manage to suit up for the Saints' Week 18 win over Atlanta. Injuries have derailed the defensive end's career to this point, as he's yet to play in more than eight contests in any of his three NFL campaigns. Turner said Tuesday that he's "feeling healthy right now," and he's currently set to play a rotational role for the Saints in 2024.

Saints' Payton Turner: Plays two games in 2023
Payton Turner logged one tackle while playing two games during the 2023 regular season.
Turner sustained a significant toe injury during the season opener and was sidelined on IR until the Week 18 win over Atlanta. As a result, the 2021 first-round pick was significantly hampered by injury for the third season in a row, as he's now appeared in just 15 games during his career. The 2024 campaign will likely serve as a make-or-break season for Turner in New Orleans.

Saints' Payton Turner: Won't play Week 17
Turner (toe) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.
Turner was designated to return from injured reserve in mid-December, and despite a week of limited practice sessions, the 24-year-old won't be making his return in Week 17. The 2021 first-round pick has spent the last 15 weeks on IR, and in his stead, expect Tanoh Kpassagnon to continue seeing more work as a rotational defensive lineman.

Saints' Payton Turner: Not yet activated
Turner (toe) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Rams.
Turner was designated to return from injured reserve on Friday, a transaction that enabled him to resume practicing with the Saints. He remained sidelined for last Sunday's 24-6 win over the Giants, and with the Saints facing a quick turnaround for Week 16, Turner wasn't able to get in enough practice reps to be an option against the Rams. With the benefit of a more traditional slate of practices Week 17, the 24-year-old edge rusher could have a decent chance to play Dec. 31 against the Buccaneers.

Saints' Payton Turner: Designated to return from IR
The Saints designated Turner (toe) to return from IR on Friday, but he won't play Sunday against the Giants, John Hendrix of SI.com reports.
Turner suffered a turf toe injury in New Orleans' season-opener that he said was "about as bad as it gets" and included two dislocated toes, per Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com. He's progressed enough to log a limited practice session Friday, but he won't be activated ahead of Sunday's Week 15 contest. The Saints' following game is a Thursday night game against the Rams, and it may be a challenge for Turner to ramp up quickly enough to be ready for that matchup.
