The second-year cornerback did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week after being designated to return Wednesday, so it's still possible he will get back on the field before the end of the regular season. Brents' next opportunity to play will come Sunday, Dec. 29 versus the Giants.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Questionable for Week 16
Julius Brents (knee) was a limited participant in Friday's practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.Brents was placed on injured reserve in mid-September after suffering an MCL injury against the Texans in Week 1. The injury was severe enough to require surgery, but he was able to progress in his recovery enough to return to practice Wednesday. If Brents isn't activated off IR ahead of Sunday's AFC South clash, his next opportunity to play will be Week 17 against the Giants on Sunday, Dec. 29.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Ready to practice
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday that Julius Brents (knee) has been designated for return from injured reserve.Brents' 21-day practice window will officially open, and he can be added back to the 53-man roster at any point during that timeframe. The 2023 second-round pick is thus eligible to return to action as early as Sunday's game against the Titans, if Indianapolis makes the corresponding transaction. Brents is working his way back from an MCL injury that's kept him sidelined since the Colts' regular-season opener and required surgery.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Practice window not opening yet
Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday the team is not yet designating Julius 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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Lands on IR with knee injury
Julius Brents was placed on the Indianapolis Colts' injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury.Brents will undergo a procedure for the knee injury he sustained during Sunday's 29-27 loss to Houston. Whether the 2023 second-round pick will return this season will not be known until after the surgery, though Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis reports that Brents is not dealing with an ACL injury, and the 24-year-old corner could return in mid-December. 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: Headed for IR
Julius 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 Indianapolis 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.
