The Indianapolis Colts placed defensive end Kemoko Turay, tight end Mo Alie-Cox and defensive end Jegs Jegede on the active/Physically Unable to Perform list, the team announced Tuesday.
The Colts also announced the release of TE Matt Lengel, which is the start of the organization bringing the roster down to the 80-player limit that goes into effect on Aug. 16.
The PUP list allows these players to stay at the facility and rehab but keeping them on the active roster. Once they are ready to return from their rehab and practice, they can be activated from the PUP list.
Turay and Alie-Cox are expected to have big roles on their respective sides of the ball while Jegede will be competing for a roster spot, though he’s a longshot to make it with the depth the Colts have at defensive end.
