The Colts have struggled to generate consistent pass rush in recent years — finishing in the bottom half of the league in sacks each of the last three seasons — so they could use Turay's speed and athleticism off the edge.

When Turay has been able to practice, the coaching staff has liked what it's seen. He's not a refined pass rusher by any means, but the upside is certainly all there.

"Yeah, he has been doing a good job. He really has," Colts defensive coordinator Matt Eberflus said of Turay on Aug. 2. "He's got great get off, he's got great pad level, and he's got great angles to the quarterback. He's a work in progress, but yeah, he's been doing a really good job. Where he fits in, we're not sure yet, but he's certainly shown that he is what we thought he was."

We won't know for sure if Turay will play on Saturday until shortly before gametime, but everybody involved knows the value of Turay getting game reps under his belt before the beginning of the regular season on Sept. 9.
