Returns from quad injury Brents started at cornerback and had four total tackles in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Brents struggled in coverage after sitting out since Week 7 due to a quad injury as he allowed three receptions on five targets for 58 yards, according to Pro Football Focus.

Questionable for Sunday Brents (quadriceps) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Brents began the Colts' week of practice with a DNP, but he logged limited sessions Thursday and Friday, and he's now got a chance to play Sunday. The rookie cornerback out of Kansas State has missed Indianapolis' last five games, and if he's unable to suit up again in Week 14, Darrell Baker and Jaylon Jones should see increased work in the team's secondary.

Sitting out of practice Wednesday Brents (quadriceps) did not participate at practice Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Brents has been sidelined for Indianapolis' last three games, and he's now missing its first practice of the new week.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Expected to miss multiple games Brents is expected to miss more than a week due to the quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 7 versus Cleveland, Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Brents had been serving as Indianapolis' top cover corner after the loss of Dallis Flowers to a ruptured Achilles, so now the Colts will have to consider other options at the position. They could choose to make a trade or sign a veteran defensive back in the near future, but if not, rookie seventh-rounder Jaylon Jones would project as Indianapolis' top cover guy until Brents is able to return.
