Back on the field Brents (groin) participated in Wednesday's organized team activities, Paul Bretl of USA Today reports.

Impact Brents sustained a groin injury during Indianapolis' 2024 season finale, but his participation in Wednesday's OTAs suggests he's moved past the issue. The third-year corner from Kansas State has struggled to stay healthy in the NFL, appearing in just 11 throughout his career. In those games, Brents has tallied 57 total tackles, six passes defended, including one interception, and one forced fumble. Now fully healthy, he's expected to serve as one of Indianapolis' top reserve cornerbacks in 2025.

Exits game due to groin injury Brents (groin) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Jaguars, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact Brents injured his groin during a Colts' punt return in the first quarter. Sunday's contest is Brents' first game back since tearing his MCL and meniscus in Week 1 against the Texans. Samuel Womack and Kenny Moore are candidate to fill in at outside corner opposite starter Jaylon Jones for as long as Brents is sidelined.

Activated, good to go for Week 18 Brents (knee) was activated off IR on Saturday and doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's matchup versus Jacksonville.

Impact Brents had been on injured reserve since Sept. 10 after suffering a knee injury in Week 1 against Houston. The second-year cornerback resumed practicing Dec. 18, and though the Colts are out of playoff contention, he'll be able to take the field for the team's season finale against the Jaguars. Samuel Womack has worked as a starter most of the campaign with Brents sidelined, but Womack could yield some defensive snaps Sunday to the returning Brents.

Hopeful to play in Week 18 Brents (knee) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars after logging a full practice Friday.

Impact Brents was the starting outside corner in Week 1 against the Texans, but he suffered a torn MCL and meniscus in his knee during that game. The injury has forced him to be sidelined for the Colts' last 15 games, but he told reporters after Friday's practice that his goal since the injury was to return this season and hopes to play in Sunday's regular-season finale, per Joel Erickson of the Indianapolis Star. The Colts would have to activate Brents off injured reserve in order for the 2023 second-round pick to play Sunday.

JANUARY 4, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not playing Sunday Brents (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 28, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 could 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.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 21, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Ready to practice Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday that Brents (knee) is being designated to return from injured reserve.

Impact 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.

Ready to practice Colts head coach Shane Steichen announced Wednesday that Brents (knee) is being designated to return from injured reserve.

DECEMBER 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

DECEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Will remain out Brents (knee) will not be designated to return from injured reserve during Week 6, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact 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.

Lands on IR with knee injury Brents was placed on the Colts' injured reserve Tuesday due to a knee injury.

Impact 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).

SEPTEMBER 10, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Headed for IR Brents (knee) is expected to be placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact 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.

Missing from injury report Brents (nose) is not on the Colts' injury report Wednesday.

Impact 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.

SEPTEMBER 4, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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 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.

AUGUST 20, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

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.

Impact 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.

AUGUST 18, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Resumed practicing Brents (shoulder) returned to practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact 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.
