Turay signed with the Falcons on Saturday, D. Orlando Ledbetter of The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.
Turay played four seasons with the Colts before spending last year with the 49ers, where he had just one tackle across three games. Since being drafted in the second round of the 2018 NFL Draft, Turay has registered 34 tackles and 15 sacks in 41 games. He's a depth edge piece for a Falcons defensive front led by veterans Calais Campbell and Bud Dupree.

49ers' Kemoko Turay: Not listed on injury report
Rotowire
Turay isn't listed on the 49ers' injury report Thursday.
Turay was absent for the team's loss to the Broncos on Sunday night due to a personal matter, but it appears he's since returned to the team and figures to be available for Week 4. However, the 2018 second-round pick has yet to take the field for San Francisco this season, so his return won't have a major impact on the 49ers' defensive game plan.

Kemoko Turay: Let go by 49ers
Rotowire
San Francisco released Turay on Tuesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Turay racked up a respectable nine tackles and 5.5 sacks in 13 games with the Colts, but he couldn't secure a situational depth role on the 49ers' initial 53-man roster. The 27-year-old defensive end seems like a fair candidate to draw interest elsewhere in the league, if not to rejoin San Francisco at a later date.

49ers' Kemoko Turay: Signs with 49ers
Rotowire
Turay has agreed to a one-year deal with the 49ers, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
The 2018 second-rounder is coming off a 2021 season in which he recorded nine tackles and 5.5 sacks in 13 games with the Colts. Adding the 26-year-old to the mix bolsters the 49ers' defensive line depth and provides the team with an added pass-rushing option ahead of the 2022 campaign.

Turay (groin) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the 49ers, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official website reports.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Enjoys two-sack outing
Rotowire
Turay notched three tackles (two solo) and two sacks during Sunday's win over the Dolphins.
Turay feasted against Miami's deficient O-line, bringing down quarterback Jacoby Brissett for his first two sacks of the season. However, the 2018 second-round pick remains in a rotational role, so it's hard to rely on him for fantasy purposes. He's never racked up more than four sacks in a single season.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Healthy to start camp

Turay (ankle) is 100 percent healthy to start camp, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Turay had ankle surgery in April, but he's had sufficient time to rehab and is all systems go for the start of camp. Injuries have limited him to 14 appearances over the past two seasons, but his clean bill of health at this time is a promising sign for the defensive end.

Rotowire
Turay (ankle) said Wednesday that he expects to gain medical clearance before training camp, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Turay is recovering from February ankle surgery, which followed up on an initial procedure he underwent back in 2019. The 2018 second-round pick flashed some upside during his rookie year, with 15 tackles and four sacks across 14 contests. Since then, he's only managed to suit up for a combined 14 games over the last two seasons.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Recovering from surgery
Rotowire
Turay underwent a second ankle surgery this offseason according to general manager Chris Ballard, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.
Turay's initial surgery in 2019 wasn't as successful as he'd hoped, so the 2018 second-round pick recently underwent a second procedure that he is recovering well from. Turay flashed some promise as a rookie, compiling 15 tackles, four sacks and one forced fumble in that 2018 campaign. The Colts are optimistic Turay will be cleared to go by June, and if he recovers ahead of the 2021 campaign, it could provide a notable boost to the Colts' defensive front.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Headed for PUP list
Rotowire
The Colts placed Turay (ankle) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Turay is progressing in his rehab from the ankle injury that limited him to four contests in 2019, and for which he underwent surgery in October. The 2018 second-round pick has already resumed doing limited individual on-field work, and he's been rehabbing at Indianapolis' facility since May. Coach Frank Reich even said that he "feels good" about Turay's rehab progress, though it still remains to be seen whether he'll be ready to retake the field in time for Week 1.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Done for season
Rotowire
Turay dislocated his right ankle in Sunday's 19-13 win over the Chiefs and has been ruled out for the rest of the season, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Turay and Jabaal Sheard combined for a sack of Patrick Mahomes on the Colts' final defensive play, but Turay was injured and immediately carted to the locker room. The 2018 second-round pick will miss the rest of the season, which will open the door for Ben Banogu and Al-Quadin Muhammad to play more in their reserve roles. Turay will look to get healthy for the 2020 season, and he'll eventually be placed on injured reserve.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Listed as questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Turay (hip) carries the questionable tag for Sunday's game against the Jaguars, Phillip Heilman of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Turay was a late addition to the injury report after logging a full practice Friday. Even if a player is listed as a full participant in practice, they must still appear on the injury report if they received any treatment for an injury. What this means for Turay is that he is more than likely fine to play in Week 13, but he did receive treatment for a hip injury. If Turay is surprisingly inactive Sunday or needs to miss time, Carroll Phillips or Al-Quadin Muhammad could see more work at defensive end.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Practices Wednesday
Rotowire
Turay (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Turay sat out the Colts' win over the Jaguars in Week 10 due to the neck injury, but his lack of limitations Wednesday suggests he's on track to suit up Sunday against the Titans. Barring any setbacks, expect the rookie second-round pick to play a rotational role at defensive end.

Colts' Kemoko Turay: Questionable for Week 10
Rotowire
Turay (neck) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Turay missed two consecutive practices to end the week, and there appears to be a realistic chance that the rookie defensive end will miss Sunday's tilt against the Jaguars. If Turay were to remain sidelined for any amount of time, Carroll Phillips would serve as the top backup to starter Jabaal Sheard.
