Brents (hamstring) recorded 43 tackles (30 solo), six pass breakups, one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games with the Colts in 2023.
EDGE Analysis
Brents dealt with injuries throughout his rookie campaign, beginning with a pre-draft wrist issue. He then suffered a mid-season quad injury that forced him to miss six games, and a hamstring issue that forced him out of Indianapolis' season-finale. Brents' hamstring injury doesn't to be something that will impact his availability for training camp, however. He's said that a focus during the offseason will be durability, per Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star.

EDGE Analysis
Brents was injured on the first play of the third quarter following a rough first half trying to slow down Houston receiver Nico Collins.

Brents started at cornerback and had four total tackles in Saturday's win over Pittsburgh.
EDGE Analysis
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. However, his return helps improve a thin and struggling secondary as he may have just needed to get back up to speed. He played on 54 of the defense's 58 snaps.

Brents (quadriceps) was a full participant during Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Brents was also a full participant Tuesday; however, the team only held a walkthrough as opposed to a more typical practice Wednesday. Barring a setback, the rookie corner should be a full go for the remainder of the week and suit up Saturday against the Steelers, which would be his first action since Week 7.

Brents (quadriceps) was a full participant in Tuesday's walk-through.
EDGE Analysis
Sunday's 34-14 loss to the Bengals marked the sixth game in a row Brents has been inactive for after he sustained a quadriceps injury in Week 7 against the Browns. Tuesday was the first time in that span that Brents was a full participant in practice, though it was a walk-through. His status for Saturday's game against the Steelers will become clearer as the week progresses and his practice participation is known.

Brents (quadriceps) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
EDGE Analysis
Brents was able to log back-to-back limited practice sessions to end the week, but it appears it wasn't enough for him to be ready for Sunday's contest. This will be the sixth game in a row that Brents will miss after sustaining a quadriceps injury Week 7 against the Browns. Jaylon Jones should continue to start at corner opposite Kenny Moore while Darrell Baker operates in the slot corner position.

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

Brents (quadriceps) logged a limited practice Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Brents was back on the field for the first time in any capacity since suffering the injury in Week 7 against the Browns. Considering the amount of time he has missed, he may need more than just another limited practice Friday to get back up to speed and play Sunday against the Bengals.

Brents (quadriceps) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, JJ Stankevitz of the Colts' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
The rookie cornerback out of Kansas State was held out of practice all week, and he'll miss his fifth consecutive game Sunday as he continues to nurse a quadriceps injury. With Brents missing even more time, expect Darrell Baker and Jaylon Jones to see increased work in Indianapolis' secondary.
