Bears 2nd-round pick Shemar Turner carted to locker room with knee injury in Ravens game

BALTIMORE — Bears rookie Shemar Turner left the game against the Ravens on Sunday with a knee injury and quickly was ruled out for the game.

He went down midway through the second quarter while trying to chase down running back Derrick Henry. Turner was carted to the locker room and had a towel over his head as he exited.

The Bears drafted him in the second round at No. 62 overall out of Texas A&M, but he has had injury issues throughout his brief time with them. He missed extended time during the preseason with an ankle injury and has played five games as a reserve for the Bears. He had six tackles, including two for loss.

Montez Sweat and Dayo Odeyingbo are the Bears’ starting defensive ends, and Turner was playing as a backup end and tackle. They also have Daniel Hardy and Dominique Robinson, though Robinson also left with an injury. He hurt his ankle and is doubtful to return.

The Bears have until Tuesday to activate defensive end Austin Booker, who has been on injured reserve with a knee injury.

Between quarterback Caleb Williams’ unsteadiness and poor decisions and the defense’s lapses, the Bears wasted a prime opportunity. This is the type of defeat that signals you should not be taken seriously.
Turner, who was drafted No. 62 overall, has played in five games.
He was questionable for the game because of a groin injury, but there was little doubt he’d be able to go. He was ruled active 90 minutes before kickoff Sunday.
