2024 Fantasy Outlook
Brents, a second-round 2023 draft pick, moved into a starting role last year and improved in coverage but missed much of the season with injuries. Brents dealt with a pre-draft wrist issue that caused him to miss the firs two regular season games. 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. He ended up recording 43 tackles (30 solo), six passes defended with one interception, one forced fumble and one fumble recovery across nine regular-season games. He enters camp as a likely starter at conerback. Read Past Outlooks

Knee - MCL
October 7, 2024
Brents (knee) will not be designated to return from injured reserve during Week 6, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
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.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Brents, selected in the second round of the 2023 NFL Draft, is a huge corner (6-3, 202 pounds) out of Kansas State with an outstanding wingspan, and he's additionally notable for the rare athleticism he boasts on that frame. While Brents' 4.53-second 40 is slightly below average, his 41.5-inch vertical and 138-inch broad jump are numbers you don't often see. Brents should project particularly well in a Cover-3 type of scheme, but tools like his might prove starter-worthy in any scheme. He'll compete for a key role in the Colts' secondary this summer.
