Colts' JuJu Brents: Headed for IR
Brents (knee) is expected to be placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Brents' injury could be season-ending, and although Rapoport states it will be, James Boyd of The Athletic says the team won't know a timetable for his return until after he undergoes surgery. The specifics of the injury the Kansas State product suffered are also unknown at this point, although Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports it is not an ACL injury, and there is a chance Brents could be back in mid-December. It's another tough blow for the promising young cornerback, who missed eight regular-season games in 2023 due to a quadriceps injury. With not much depth at the position, it's not clear where the Colts will turn, with Samuel Womack and Dallis Flowers the only other corners on the current roster other than starter Jaylon Jones and nickelback Kenny Moore.

With Brents sidelined, Kenny Moore could step into the starting corner role opposite Jaylon Jones. Moore played all 79 defensive snaps for the Colts on Sunday and finished with five tackles (four solo).

Colts' JuJu Brents: Will return to practice next week
Head coach Shane Steichen said Sunday that Brents (nose) should be ready to return to practice in the upcoming week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Brents injured his nose in the Colts' second preseason game against the Cardinals on Aug. 17. The injury has kept him out of practice and prevented him from suiting up in the preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday, but the 2023 second-round pick appears to be close to participating in individual and team drills once more. In his rookie season, Brents recorded 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games. He is slated to serve as the starting corner for Indianapolis opposite Jaylon Jones.

He finished the game with one tackle while playing 12 snaps on defense. The 2023 second-round draft pick will likely be held out of the Colts' preseason finale against the Bengals on Thursday, and aim to be ready for Week 1 against the Texans.

After undergoing offseason ankle surgery, Brents is participating in individual and team drills at Colts' training camp, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
The 2023 second-round pick out of Kansas State played in just nine regular-season games in his rookie campaign due to separate quadriceps and hamstring injuries. He finished the season with 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery. Brents underwent a clean-up procedure on his ankle during the offseason, and after starting things slow in training camp, he looks to be participating at full speed.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Limited to nine games as a rookie
Brents (hamstring) recorded 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games with the Colts in 2023.
Brents dealt with injuries during his rookie campaign, beginning with a pre-draft wrist issue. He then suffered a mid-season quad injury that forced him to miss six games, and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Indianapolis' season finale. Brents' hamstring injury doesn't appear to be something that will impact his availability for training camp, however. He's said that his focus during the offseason will be on improving his durability, per Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star.
