He achieved career highs in 2024 with 31 catches for 420 yards and has a total of five touchdowns, showcasing his potential as a key player for the team.

The situation surrounding Turpin's arrest is still developing, and the potential fallout remains uncertain as the Cowboys and the NFL assess their next steps.

KaVontae Turpin, the Dallas Cowboys' All-Pro returner, was arrested on July 6, 2025, in Allen, Texas, facing charges of possession of marijuana and unlawful carrying of a weapon.

He was booked into the Collin County jail and released the same day after posting a bond of $1,500, which included $500 for the marijuana charge and $1,000 for the weapon charge.

As of now, Turpin does not have an attorney representing him, and the Cowboys have chosen not to comment on the incident.

The NFL is conducting an investigation to assess the nature of Turpin's charges, which could lead to potential penalties under the league's personal conduct policy.

Despite recent changes to marijuana testing regulations, Turpin's arrest could still result in disciplinary action from the NFL.

At the time of his arrest, Turpin was reportedly in possession of less than 2 ounces of marijuana.

He faces a Class B Misdemeanor for possession of marijuana and a Class A Misdemeanor for unlawful carrying of a weapon.

Turpin has a troubled history, including being dismissed from the TCU football team in 2018 due to domestic violence charges and a previous arrest for assault.

On the field, Turpin is entering his fourth season with the Cowboys, where he is expected to have an expanded role under new offensive coordinator Brian Schottenheimer.
