Colts QB Jacoby Brissett (knee) has been ruled out for Week 10 against the Dolphins.

After first being thought of as a game-time decision, it turns out Brissett needs more time to rest. At least we have a definitive answer today rather than waiting until 2:30 tomorrow afternoon. Brian Hoyer will get the start in place of Brissett, which does downgrade the Colts' offense, but Hoyer was connecting well with Zach Pascal in Week 9.

Colts QB Jacoby Brissett will be a game-time decision on Sunday against the Dolphins.

Brissett left early in Week 9 with that knee injury but was able to practice all week on a limited basis. Depending on who your other options are, you’ll need to be prepared as the Colts have a 4:05 kickoff Sunday, so we may not know for sure until about midway through the early wave of games Sunday. If Brissett can’t go, it’ll be Brian Hoyer under center.

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.
