Brents hamstring in training camp and behavior around roster deadline; he was waived, then hamstring issues tie to depth concerns in the secondary.

Brents’ knee injury from Week 1 last season lingers as a backdrop; his health status matters for the Colts’ secondary stability and matchup with Miami’s passing game. If Brents is limited or unavailable, Miami’s aerial attack could face increased risk of favorable matchups, elevating targets for other Dolphin playmakers.

Brents was claimed off waivers from Indianapolis by Miami, adding a tall, physical corner with press-man potential. His arrival elevates the competition at outside corner behind the starters and signals the Dolphins' intent to push for immediate depth and future upside in a pass-heavy league.

Brents is a 6-3, 189-pound corner with 34-inch arms, elite changemakers for his size (93rd percentile 3-cone, 99th percentile broad jump, 95th percentile vertical). His rookie season with the Colts yielded 6 pass breakups, 1 interception and 1 forced fumble in 8 starts, but injuries limited him to 11 of 34 games across two seasons, including a torn ACL/MCL/meniscus setback in 2024. If healthy, he could unlock his elite athletic upside for Miami and become a long-term contributor.

Brents, two-year Colts cornerback, claimed by Miami after being cut. Injury-laden seasons limited on-field action; still possesses ball skills (1 INT, 6 PD) and tackle-sleepy production (50). Miami gains depth and a potential boundary outside option, with Week 1 test looming against Indianapolis.
