Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Tuesday that Brents (nose) is set to return to practice "sooner rather than later," James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Brents was forced to exit late in the first quarter of Saturday's preseason contest against Arizona after sustaining a nose injury. 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.
