• Colts' JuJu Brents: Ready to practice

  18H ago • By RotoWire

  Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday that Brents (knee) is being designated to return from injured reserve. Brents' 21-day practice window will officially open, in which span he can be activated to the 53-man roster at any time. That makes the 2023 second-round pick eligible to retake the field as early as Sunday's game against the Titans, if Indianapolis makes the corresponding transaction. Brents is working his way back from a knee injury that's kept him sidelined since he suffered it in the Colts' regular-season opener.

• Colts' JuJu Brents: Practice window not opening yet

  Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday the team is not yet designating Brents (knee) to return from IR, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Brents, who was placed on IR after injuring his knee during Indianapolis' regular-season opener, has technically been eligible to resume practicing since early October. It doesn't appear as though the second-year pro has a significant chance of returning for Sunday's road matchup against the Broncos, though, which will leave him with just three more opportunities to get back on the field before the conclusion of the regular season.

  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.

• Colts' JuJu Brents: Close to return

  08/20/2024 • By RotoWire

  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.

  Brents has been ruled out from returning to Saturday's exhibition contest against Arizona due to a nose injury, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports. Brents started and played most of the first quarter before getting hurt. The cornerback was ruled out early in the second period and finished the game with one assisted tackle. Brents missed Indianapolis' first preseason matchup due to a shoulder injury but returned to practice this week. If healthy, he's slated to start at left corner for the Colts in 2024.
