Two days after his left knee buckled under the weight of Quenton Nelson, Jacoby Brissett looked upbeat in his weekly session with local media.

The Colts starting quarterback had good reason.

According to Brissett, his left knee — he sprained his medial collateral ligament in the second quarter against the Steelers and couldn’t return to the game — feels significantly better than it did on Sunday.

As we know, Brissett's MRI came back clean and the end result was a sprain. He hasn't been ruled out for Week 10, but the Colts play the Dolphins, which may be considered a winable game for the team to play it safe and stick with Hoyer.

The MRI on Jacoby Brissett‘s injured left knee revealed nothing unexpected, Chris Mortensen of ESPN reports.

Brissett officially has a sprain of his medial collateral ligament.

He has a chance to play against the Dolphins, the story said, but there is “nothing definite” on his status for this week yet, according to Mortensen. That follows a PFT report earlier in the day. It seems logical the Colts maybe play it safe and sit him out for Hoyer in what should be a winable game against the Dolphins, but it's something for owners to monitor.

As reported as early as Sunday night, the Colts haven't ruled Brissett out of Miami game, yet, in Week 10. The team is waiting for MRI results to determine severity. Hoyer would get the start in a very winable matchup that may cause the Colts to just play it safe with Brissett this week.

Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett injured his left knee early in Sunday's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Brissett went down early in the second quarter after a short incompletion on first-and-goal from the 12-yard-line. The Colts QB jogged to the sideline and was checked by trainers on the sideline.

The Colts think the injury is a sprained knee, and perhaps "MCL-ish" according to HC Frank Reich. If Brissett has to miss time, which seems like it's a possibility at this point, Hoyer would take over as the starter.

The Colts and QB Jacoby Brissett have agreed to terms on a 2-year extension worth $30 million, source said.

Rapoport went on to say he gets $20 million guaranteed at signing so there is some security for the new Indy starter as he takes over for Andrew Luck.
