Indianapolis Colts rookie cornerback Julius Brents, the No. 44 overall pick, underwent wrist surgery in March and is expected to be ready for the start of training camp at the end of July.
Brents was able to participate in the NFL combine, which resulted in him impressing at an elite level. However, the 23-year-old underwent surgery on his wrist and has been recovering since.
“With the wrist situation, it was something I had throughout the season – actually the very first game of the season and just decided to go ahead and play with it and deal with it afterwards,” Brents told reporters Friday. “So, I got it done after the (NFL) Combine. It’s doing good, man. It’s doing real good. I’m pretty much ahead of the curve on my recovery, continue to rehab on that. But I’m going to be full-go by the time we get to camp so there will be no worries.”
When Brents arrived at the Colts’ local pro day earlier in the month, he was able to meet with the team but didn’t participate due to the injury.
Fortunately, Brents was able to play through the injury in 2022—and played well—and he doesn’t seem worried about missing training camp.
The Kansas State product and Indy native should compete for a starting role relatively early
