Chicago Bears defensive lineman Shemar Turner is ready to make his 2026 debut and he will have to come up big with so many key players out on defense.
Chicago Bears defensive lineman Shemar Turner is set to make his 2026 season debut against the Atlanta Falcons in Week 6. Turner was activated to the 53-man roster after recovering from an ACL injury suffered in Week 8 of his 2025 rookie campaign.
