Pryor entered the league as a sixth-round Eagles reserve but spent the past four years bouncing around various locales. That includes as a 15-game starter for the Bears last season. He held up surprisingly well on Caleb Williams’ right side, mostly at guard. Although he’s now on the wrong side of 30, Pryor is valuable, experienced depth.

As beat writer Adam Jahns points out, Pryor overlapped with Bears coach Matt Eberflus in Indy in 2021. Pryor is versatile but tends to quickly get overexposed. Turning 30 in December, he won’t be a lock for the 53-man roster.

The 49ers will hope Pryor's signing is nothing more than a move for added depth after he was graded as one of the worst offensive linemen in the league last season. Playing at both tackle positions and right guard in 2022, Pryor allowed 31 quarterback pressures and six sacks on 576 snaps -- allowing his quarterback to be pressured on nearly eight percent of dropbacks. 

Trying to replace stopgap Eric Fisher, the Colts appear to be trending towards giving the veteran Pryor a shot on Matt Ryan's blind side. Pryor finished with a 76.5 PFF grade in 2021 after coming over in August from the Eagles. He did start one game at left tackle against the Raiders in Week 17.
