• Colts' JuJu Brents: Will remain out

  10/07/2024 • By RotoWire

  Brents (knee) will not be designated to return from injured reserve during Week 6, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. Brents has been on IR for the minimum of four games, so he's technically eligible to return; however, the Kansas State product is not yet healthy enough to get on the field. Boyd also notes that although there is a chance the 24-year-old plays again this season, there is still no definitive timeline for his return as he continues to recover from an MCL injury.

  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.

  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.

  Brents is expected to be cleared from his ankle injury in a few days, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports. Brents underwent a clean-up procedure on his ankle earlier this offseason and it appears as if the recovery process is going well. The Kansas State product appeared in nine games as a rookie, recording 42 total tackles and six passes defended, including one interception. Heading into his second season, Brents is expected to remain one of the top cornerbacks in the Colts' secondary.
