Cardinals' Ezekiel Turner: Sticks with Arizona
Turner agreed to a one-year deal with the Cardinals on Friday, Kevin Parrish of the Cardinals' official website reports.
Turner made just five appearances in 2021 because of injuries and registered six total defensive snaps, though he continued to be a core piece for Arizona's special teams unit. After making the Cardinals' roster as an undrafted free agent in 2018, he's led the team in special-teams tackles twice -- 22 in 2018 and 15 in 2020. Turner figures to have a similar role again in 2022.

Cardinals' Ezekiel Turner: Activated from injured reserve
The Cardinals returned Turner (shoulder) to the active roster ahead of Monday night's matchup against the Rams, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.
Turner, who was designated to return from injured reserve in Week 17, had until this coming Wednesday to return to the active roster within the 21-day practice window. The linebacker saw very little action on defense (five total defensive snaps) before sustaining a shoulder injury in Week 5, but he played 20 or more special-teams snaps in the team's first four games and could play a prominent role in this phase going forward.

Turner has been a standout contributor on special teams over the last three seasons, which once again could give him a path to a roster spot. Of course, as a player who only handled five defensive snaps in 2020, he's well off the radar in IDP formats.
