New Orleans placed Turner (toe) on injured reserve Wednesday, Katherine Terrell of ESPN.com reports.
Turner played only seven defensive snaps in the Saints' season opener before exiting with a turf toe injury. The issue is serious enough to potentially require surgery, thus his placement on IR. Turner isn't eligible to return until mid-October, with Tanoh Kpassagnon likely seeing increased action in his place.

Exactly how much time he can be expected to miss is anyone's guess at this point, but in the meantime, veteran Tanoh Kpassagnon will probably see increased reps at defensive end.

Saints' Payton Turner: Dealing with ankle sprain
Rotowire
The Saints are labeling Turner as week-to-week after he was diagnosed Monday with a low-ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Though the injury Turner suffered in Sunday's win over the Rams isn't as severe as initially thought, he'll still face an uphill battle to make it back for a Week 12 matchup with the 49ers.
