Colts' JuJu Brents: Not playing Sunday
Brents (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Brents was a full practice participant all week as he works his way back from an MCL injury he suffered in the Colts' regular-season opener against the Texans. However, the 2023 second-round pick will remain on IR, and it's unclear whether he'll be activated for the Colts' regular-season finale against the Jaguars.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Questionable for Week 17
Brents (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants after logging a full practice Friday, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
Brents is in the final stages of his recovery from an MCL injury, which caused him to go on injured reserve Sept. 10. He was a full participant in practice all week, but he'll need to be activated off IR in order to play Sunday. Brents has played in 10 regular-season games since being selected by Indianapolis in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Not returning Week 16
Brents (knee) won't be activated from IR on Saturday and has been downgraded to out for Sunday's tilt against the Titans.
Brents will remain on IR -- where's he's been since Sept. 10 -- for another week. 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
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
Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday that 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
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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Will remain out
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.

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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Lands on IR with knee injury
Brents was placed on the 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: Missing from injury report
Brents (nose) is not on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.
Brents has been sidelined by what was described as a nose injury, but the issue will not prevent the Kansas State product from taking the field this week. The second-year pro will be starting at corner opposite Jaylon Jones on Sunday against the Texans.

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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Close to return
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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Exits game with nose injury
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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Resumed practicing
Brents (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Brents spent time on the sideline recently to rest his shoulder, but he looks back to full health ahead of Saturday's preseason matchup against the Cardinals. The 2023 second-round pick seems likely to open the regular season as a starting cornerback for Indianapolis.

Colts' JuJu Brents: Getting the day off
Brents (shoulder) is getting a "rest day" and will not play in Sunday's preseason game, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Atkins further added that the shoulder issue is minor and that the team "doesn't want to risk anything." Brents had offseason ankle surgery but returned in time for training camp. The 2023 second-round pick started eight of the nine games he played in last year, recording 43 tackles, six passes defensed, an interception, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery.
