    Colts ruled out CB JuJu Brents for Week 10 against the Patriots.
    Brents has started each of the last four games for the Colts after missing the first two games to open the season. The rookie corner has played a prominent role since being inserted into the lineup and has earned a PFF coverage grade of 81.1 while allowing 17 receptions for 198 yards and two touchdowns. Listed behind Brents on the depth chart is Ameer Speed, who could earn more playing time against the Pats this Sunday.
  • IND Defensive Back
    Colts CB Julius Brents (quad) will not play in Week 8 against the Saints.
    Brents missed the first two games of the year but immediately stepped into a prominent role in Week 3. He got his first start in Week 4 and hasn’t looked back since. The quad issue, suffered early in the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Browns, will sidelined Brents for at least one game. He didn’t practice at all this week, so the rookie may miss multiple weeks.
  • IND Defensive Back
    The Herald Bulletin’s George Bremer believes second-round CB Julius Brents “might have the best odds at becoming an immediate starter.”
    The Colts traded CB Stephon Gilmore to Dallas in March and lost Brandon Facyson to free agency. Brents (6’3/213) fits the Colts’ press scheme and should get the first shot at replacing Gilmore outside. Brents missed rookie OTAs with a wrist injury but is expected to be fully healthy for the preseason.

  • IND Defensive Back
    Colts selected Kansas State CB Julius Brent with the No. 44 overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft.
    Brents (6’3/213) initially attended Iowa as a three-star safety prospect, grinding out three years of inconsistent snaps under old-school head coach Kirk Ferentz’s perennially stout defense that had a settled depth chart after he returned from a season-long injury suffered in 2019. He transferred to Kansas State in 2021 and immediately earned a starting role, though there was an adjustment period as he allowed a subpar 64% completion rate and 101.9 passer rating. It all came together for Brents in 2022, posting a 46% completion rate and 57.7 passer rating, which were drastic improvements over 2021. He also grew into his body, learning to leverage his elite change of direction ability and vast wingspan (34” arms) to rack up eight pass break ups, four interceptions, and 45 tackles. The First Team All-Big 12 corner took over the Combine by running a 4.05 shuttle (91st percentile), 6.63 3-Cone (98th percentile) and 1.5 10-yard split (96%) to go with 99th percentile jumping drills for a near-perfect 9.99 RAS. Brents will join a Colts secondary graded by PFF as last year’s 13th best coverage unit.
