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.
Brents has yet to return to practice since getting hurt in Week 7 against the Browns, and he won't be doing so ahead of Week 9, so he'll likely remain out for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Brents will have to sit out at least one game as he recovers from the quadriceps injury he sustained in Week 7 versus Cleveland. In his absence, rookie seventh-rounder Jaylon Jones is likely to see an expanded role in Week 8.
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.
