INDIANAPOLIS — Kemoko Turay’s rookie season has hit a snag.

For so long, the rookie out of Rutgers was like so many of the rest of the Colts’ rookie class, playing a key role on the defensive line and flashing the pass-rush ability that made him one of Chris Ballard’s four second-round picks in April.

But Turay’s playing time, and subsequently his impact, started to fall off some time around Thanksgiving.
