Chicago Bears blasted for drafting another injured player in 2nd round

Per Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, the issue caused him to pull out of the Senior Bowl.

“Texas A&M DL Shemar Turner, a likely Top 50 pick, had to pull out of the Senior Bowl after learning that a stress fracture from camp, that needed a rod inserted into it, never fully healed, sources say,” posted Rapoport on X.

“Turner, who played on it all season, was advised to have no impact on his leg for 3-4 weeks to let the bone finally heal. He plans to do Combine interviews and perform at his Pro Day.”

Per Tony Pauline of Sportskeeda, Turner had a solid performance during Texas A&M’s pro day.

While he wasn’t selected in the top 50, the Bears took him at No. 62, hoping he could be a strong run defender and improve his pass rush with a healthy shin. Turner recorded six sacks in 2023.

Bears fans are worried about Shemar Turner’s injury history

“Bears history of loving pre injured players has worked out great, we’ve got 2 new ones so far. The trenches are an afterthought with Poles,” wrote a fan.

“Great, another injured player,” posted another.

“I would give draft an A+ if it wasn’t for all the injuries,” suggested a fan.

“Every bears pick is “if healthy he can be…,” wrote another.

“Stress fracture in the shin you say,” asked a fan.

“Could Shemar Turner be a possible steal,” asked a hopeful fan.
