Colts' JuJu Brents: 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.
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.

Colts' JuJu Brents: 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.
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.

Colts' JuJu 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.
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 that he 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.

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.
