This sentence looks weird??

"Both of the boys turned their homework in late."

I don't understand the meaning of "in late".

Please help.

I have searched it but could not find a proper answer.

turn in is a phrasal verb, meaning to give completed work to someone who told you to do it. You could reword thus. " late eg The teacher told them to turn it in on Wednesday, but they turned it in on Thursday.
