                    Brents had a chance to earn a starting role in 2024, but after being limited to just two regular-season appearances due to injuries, he seems destined for a backup role behind Jaylon Jones and Charvarius Ward for 2025. The 2023 second-round pick's first line of duty will be to stay fully healthy for the first time in his NFL career, at which point he'll primarily compete with rookie third-rounder Justin Walley for rotational reps.

                                    Waived by Colts
Brents was waived by Indianapolis on Tuesday, the Indianapolis Star reports.
				ANALYSIS
It's somewhat surprising the Colts waived the 2023 second-round pick since they will incur a dead cap hit of more than $2.6 million and are struggling with injuries in the secondary in the preseason. Injuries have limited Brents to just 11 games the past two seasons, and he missed much of training camp with a hamstring injury.

		            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.
