Turner suffered a shoulder injury in the first half of Arizona’s conference-opening loss to Cal last week in Berkeley.
Justin Spears Arizona will likely be without one of its starting safeties for Saturday's Pac-12 home opener against Colorado.
Turner, a 6-foot-2-inch, 210-pound junior, has carved out an essential role in Arizona’s defensive unit. Turner has contributed to two of Arizona’s six takeaways this season, notching an interception against San Diego State and forcing a fumble — and recovering it — against Mississippi State. With a score of 84.5, Turner is the highest-graded defender in the Pac-12 , according to Pro Football Focus.
Taylor logged nine tackles after replacing Turner in the second half last week. Fisch and Arizona’s defensive coaching staff"thought he made a lot of great plays for us in training camp and continues to show ways to be around the ball." Although Taylor played strong safety at St. Thomas Aquinas,"ever since he’s been here, he’s always played the middle of the field for every practice, every scrimmage all throughout training camp, so he’s kind of been a post safety," Fisch said.
