"Dolphins cornerback JuJu Brents, whose strong play has been a recent eye-opener, is likely out for the season due to a foot injury sustained in Sunday's 16-13 overtime victory over Washington in Madrid, Spain, coach Mike McDaniel said Monday. Brents, the 2023 second-round pick by Indianapolis, was awarded to the Dolphins off waivers on Aug. 27. He has 14 tackles, one pass defended and one fumble recovery this season while making two starts, the last two games, and appearing in seven games."
"Brents' injury continues a string of injuries at cornerback this season, a list that began in training camp with nickel/slot cornerback Kader Kohou (knee) and continued into the regular season with Storm Duck (knee) and Kendall Sheffield. Veteran Rasul Douglas is battling a foot/ankle ailment, which opened the door for Brents to start, and rookie Jason Marshall Jr. (hamstring) was sidelined for a few games but has since returned."
JuJu Brents is likely out for the season after suffering a foot injury during the 16-13 overtime win over Washington in Madrid. Brents was a 2023 second-round pick by Indianapolis and was claimed off waivers by the Dolphins on Aug. 27. He recorded 14 tackles, one pass defended and one fumble recovery while appearing in seven games and making two starts. The injury adds to multiple cornerback setbacks this year, including Kader Kohou, Storm Duck and Kendall Sheffield, with Rasul Douglas also dealing with a foot/ankle issue. Brents' absence could increase playing time for Ethan Bonner and practice-squad corner Isaiah Johnson. Players eligible to return from injured reserve after the bye include Darren Waller, James Daniels, Andrew Meyer and Jason Sanders, while Liam Eichenberg’s return does not appear imminent. The team remained noncommittal on which recovery windows might open.
