Thin CB room gets thinner - JuJu Brents to IR with knee injury

[njcoltfan]

Does anyone know if this guy had a history of injury when he was in college? To me, it seems like he's always resting because of nagging little injuries, am I wrong?

No mention of any injuries

He had some health issues while at Iowa - he did get sort of banged up towards the end of his first year and then was battling a knee injury for most of his second year for which the Hawkeyes eventually just redshirted him that season.

However, after he transferred to Kansas State, he played in every single game both his junior and senior seasons.

Rapoport speculates that the injury is season-ending although the Colts will wait and see how surgery + recovery goes. There is a slim chance Brents may be back by the end of the season.

Sources: Colts promising young CB JuJu Brents is headed for Injured Reserve with a season-ending knee injury.

The former second-round pick has impressed when on the field.

With the early injury, he’ll be 100% for 2025.

But frustrating outcome.

JuJu Brents has suffered a knee injury that will put him on IR, source confirms.

Colts will see if he has a chance to come back at end

Brents, who played 62 defensive snaps and 4 on special teams Sunday, tweaked his knee during the game, and the injury was thought to be minor until the MRI

I’d move Rodney Thomas to CB

Hey Chris Ballard---- YOU FUCKING SUCK!!!

Sorry, didn't see this one- please delete my post!

But, my sentiment remains true---- CHRIS BALLARD YOU FUCKING SUCK!!!

[Dewey 5]

That’s a shame. Lot of potential just can’t get on the field.

Oh and Ballard is a total & complete incompetent dipshit.

[Dewey 5]

Ballard needs to be fired immediately after the last game of the season. Preferably sooner.

For now, the Colts have moved up CB Chris Lammons to the 53 man roster and signed CB Kelvin Joseph to the practice squad.
