Finds end zone against Giants
Turpin carried the ball three times for 14 yards and a touchdown and caught two of three targets for 11 yards in Sunday's 40-0 win over the Giants.
Analysis: Dallas coach Mike McCarthy hinted over the summer that Turpin might see more usage on offense this season, and in the first game of 2023 he saw more offensive touches than he did in all of 2022 while scoring his first NFL touchdown on a seven-yard scamper. Those touches, and the TD, did come in the fourth quarter when the game was well in hand, however. Turpin's main role for the Cowboys will continue to be as the top return man -- he gained 17 yards on two punt returns Sunday -- but getting…read more

Confirmed as top return man
Turpin will be the Cowboys' primary kick returner this season, Nick Harris of the team's website reports.
Analysis: "We have a Pro Bowl returner in Turp," special teams coordinator John Fassel said Thursday. "I think he's become a much better punt catcher, even though I think he was very good at it before. He's special, I envision him being even more special this year than he was last year." An electric performance from rookie Deuce Vaughn in camp and the preseason had created some buzz Turpin might be squeezed off the roster, but his spot appears secure. What's less clear is whether the 27-year-old will…read more

Making an impression
Turpin is one of eight players who has impressed during training camp, Jon Machota of the Athletic reports.
Analysis: Turpin impressed as the team's return man last season and continues to show off those skills in camp. More importantly, Turpin is continuing to improve as a receiver and has been consistently making plays on offense. The second-year pro should make the 53-man roster due to his previously mentioned special-teams skills, but he may be making a case for a larger role on offense as well.

Hopes to get more offensive chances
Appearing on the Blogging the Boys podcast, Turpin said he hopes to get more chances on offense in 2023.
Analysis: After being named the MVP of the USFL in 2022, Turpin signed a three-year deal with Dallas and made the Pro Bowl as a returner. He played just 62 snaps on offense, however, rushing three times for 17 yards and catching one of two targets for nine yards. With both Noah Brown and T.Y. Hilton slated for free agency, Turpin wants a shot to play more snaps. "They are going to try and get me on the offense and try to make guys respect me more on both sides of the ball," Turpin said. "I'm going into…read more

Shines on special teams
Turpin finished seventh in the NFL with 808 return yards and fifth with a 10.4 yard average on punt returns over 17 regular-season games in 2022.
Analysis: The 26-year-old rookie saw little work on offense, taking three carries for 17 yards and catching one of two targets for nine yards, but the 2021 USFL MVP became a 2022 NFL Pro Bowler due to his prowess in the return game. Turpin didn't manage to return a kick for a touchdown but came close on multiple occasions, and with two more years remaining on the very affordable contract he signed last July, he should be a key weapon on special teams for the Cowboys again in 2023.

Suiting up Week 18
Turpin (illness) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Analysis: The reigning USFL MVP and Pro Bowl returner will therefore sidestep inactive status for the finale after being added to the injury report Friday. Turpin should continue to operate in his usual special-teams capacity versus Washington, although he perhaps could also see some snaps on offense if the Cowboys sit some of their starters early in the regular-season finale.

Dealing with illness
Turpin didn't practice Friday and is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup against Washington due to an illness.
Analysis: Turpin landed on the injury report Friday as a non-participant with an illness, and his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale is now in jeopardy. If he doesn't suit up, Tony Pollard and CeeDee Lamb may be asked to handle more return opportunities, though Dallas likely wouldn't want to put two of its most important offensive weapons in too many of those situations with the playoffs looming.

Carries once in Week 8 win
Turpin played six of the Cowboys' 57 snaps on offense in Sunday's 49-29 win over the Bears, finishing with one carry for 11 yards.
Analysis: Though he's listed as a receiver on the Cowboys' official roster, Turpin has logged three carries (for 17 yards) compared to one target through his first eight NFL games. In addition to serving as the Cowboys' top option on kickoff and punt returns, the 5-foot-9, 153-pound Turpin is expected to continue to see most of his limited opportunities on offense as a gadget player during the second half of the season.
