News

  • Moving on to Washington

    Brissett reached agreement Wednesday with the Commanders on a one-year deal, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Brissett is coming off a 2022 campaign in which he held down the fort at quarterback for the Browns until Deshaun Watson completed his suspension. In 16 appearances (11 starts), Brissett completed 64 percent of his passes for 2,608 yards, 12 touchdowns and six interceptions while also rushing 49 times for 243 yards and two more scores. Upon joining Washington, he'll likely get the chance to compete for a starting role along with second-year signal-caller Sam Howell, barring further additions to…read more

  • Enters for one failed snap

    Brissett went 0-for-1 on his lone play of the game in Sunday's 23-10 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski, who has designed many productive opening drives in 2022, is getting second-guessed by the Monday morning quarterbacks after this loss. On Sunday's opening drive, the coach replaced Deshaun Watson (3-for-3, 34 yards at the time) with Brissett on fourth-and-1 at the Bengals' 25. Instead of a quarterback sneak, Brissett sailed a corner-route throw over Donovan Peoples-Jones. Instead of getting three points or letting his highly paid starting QB handle a…read more

  • Gets win in final game as starter

    Brissett completed 23 of 37 passes for 210 yards with one touchdown and one interception in the Browns' 23-17 overtime win over the Buccaneers on Sunday. He also rushed twice for 27 yards.

    Analysis: Playing what is expected to be his final game in the starting role before Deshaun Watson's Week 13 debut, Brissett went out on a high note. Although he wasn't as productive from a raw numbers standpoint as other games, Brissett handled himself reasonably well while taking four sacks from an aggressive Buccaneers pass rush. The veteran signal-caller then finished off his day in stellar fashion, recording completions of 17 and 45 yards to Amari Cooper on what turned to be the Browns' game-winning…read more

  • Stellar numbers in Week 11 loss

    Brissett completed 28 of 41 passes for 324 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions in the Browns' 31-23 loss to the Bills on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 29 yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: Brissett was clicking with Amari Cooper throughout the afternoon against a tough Bills secondary, hitting the veteran wideout on a team-high eight occasions for 113 yards and touchdown passes of 25 and seven yards. With the Browns falling progressively behind and unable to get anything going on the ground with Nick Chubb, Brissett finished with his second-most pass attempts and highest passing yardage total of the season, as well as his first multi-touchdown effort since Week 3. Brissett has…read more

  • Browns-Bills game moved to Detroit

    Brissett and the Browns are now scheduled to play Sunday's game against the Bills at Ford Field in Detroit at 1 p.m. ET, after the NFL announced Thursday that the game has been moved from Buffalo due to the major snowstorm that's expected to strike Western New York this weekend.

    Analysis: The change in venue can probably be seen as nothing but a positive development for all Browns players and their respective fantasy outlooks. Not only will the Browns now have the benefit of playing one of their road games at a neutral-site venue, but they'll have the luxury of playing in a domed stadium, where scoring tends to be higher. Additionally, the move of the Week 11 game to Detroit removes the potential headache fantasy managers might have faced in determining how the inclement weather…read more

  • Expected to face adverse weather

    Brissett and the Browns will have to navigate a forecasted snowstorm in Buffalo this Sunday, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.

    Analysis: The forecast calls for lake-effect snow from Thursday to Sunday, which could total three-to-four feet. That will present a challenge to throw the ball. Brissett was involved a similar game in 2017 in Buffalo when he was with the Colts. In that game, Brissett finished 11-of-22 for 69 yards while Frank Gore toted the rock 36 times. It behooves fantasy managers to monitor the situation and consider making alternative arrangements in terms of Cleveland's skill players involved in the passing game.

  • Pedestrian passing effort in loss

    Brissett completed 22 of 35 passes for 212 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Browns' 39-17 loss to the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed seven times for 40 yards.

    Analysis: Brissett had a generally difficult afternoon while taking three sacks and a whopping 11 additional hits overall. The veteran interim starter made the best of a less-than-ideal situation that saw Cleveland have to go pass-heavy in the second half, connecting with nine different targets overall. Brissett also posted his second-highest rushing yardage total of the season to help supplement his production, but he'll draw another thorny matchup in what projects as his penultimate start when he and…read more

  • Efficient in Halloween win

    Brissett completed 17 of 22 passes for 278 yards and one touchdown in Monday's 32-13 win over the Bengals. He added six carries for 12 yards and another touchdown in addition to losing one fumble.

    Analysis: Brissett fumbled while taking a sack in the second quarter but guided the Browns to an 11-0 halftime lead despite that turnover. He then stretched that lead to 18-0 with a three-yard touchdown run on the first possession of the third quarter before putting the game firmly out of reach on the following series with a four-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper. Brissett has posted a 7:5 TD:INT through the air while adding two rushing touchdowns to lead the Browns to a 3-5 record heading into the…read more

  • Solid numbers in Week 7 loss

    Brissett completed 22 of 27 passes for 258 yards with no touchdowns or interceptions in the Browns' 23-20 loss to the Ravens on Sunday. He also rushed three times for 18 yards and committed two fumbles, losing one.

    Analysis: As has been the case more than once this season, Brissett put together a solid stat line in defeat. Moreover, although the veteran quarterback has come up short on making key plays in some of Cleveland's close losses, it was difficult to place blame at his feet Sunday. Brissett saw a would-be 34-yard touchdown pass to Amari Cooper nullified by an offensive pass interference call on the receiver with 2:24 remaining, and he managed to complete a last-ditch pass to Donovan Peoples-Jones that the…read more

  • Falls flat against Patriots

    Brissett completed 21 of 45 passes for 266 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions in Sunday's 31-15 loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Brissett struggled against his former team, as he managed only 5.9 yards per attempt and threw multiple interceptions in a game for the first time this season. The performance was disappointing, though he did manage four passes of more than 20 yards -- matching his season high -- to a combination of Donovan Peoples-Jones and David Njoku. Even if he manages a bounceback performance in Week 7 against Baltimore, Brissett has yet to show much upside as a fantasy producer as he has failed to throw…read more

  • Comes up short in Week 5 loss

    Brissett completed 21 of 34 passes for 230 yards with one touchdown and one interception and rushed three times for 32 yards in the Browns' 30-28 loss to the Chargers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Brissett turned in yet another serviceable stat line, but after leading an 11-play, 75-yard touchdown drive, he threw an interception in the end zone on the Browns' penultimate possession and then threw back-to-back incompletions on Cleveland's final march, which forced a difficult 54-yard field-goal attempt for rookie Cade York that sailed wide right. Brissett did show excellent chemistry with Amari Cooper and David Njoku, who were on the receiving end of 13 of his completions, 164 of his…read more

  • Rushing touchdown in losing effort

    Brissett completed 21 of 35 pass attempts for 234 yards and an interception while adding 16 yards and a touchdown on five carries in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Atlanta.

    Analysis: Brissett was able to bolster a lackluster passing effort with an impressive scramble for a touchdown. The veteran fill-in has done a commendable job through four weeks, completing 65 percent of his passes with a 4:2 TD:INT ratio while leading Cleveland to a 2-2 record. Brissett leaves a lot to be desired from a fantasy perspective, especially heading into a tough matchup against the Chargers' ferocious pass rush next Sunday.

  • Sharp, efficient in Week 3 win

    Brissett completed 21 of 31 passes for 220 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Browns' 29-17 win over the Steelers on Thursday night. He also rushed three times for 11 yards.

    Analysis: The veteran quarterback turned in one of his prototypical efficient performances that was free of turnovers, keeping the Browns rolling with multiple long drives throughout the game. Brissett also maintained the momentum he'd built with Amari Cooper in Week 2, hitting the wideout for an 11-yard touchdown to open the scoring late in the first quarter and recording seven completions for 101 yards on 11 targets to him overall. Brissett also displayed plenty of chemistry with David Njoku, who…read more

  • No lingering injury

    Coach Kevin Stefanski said Monday that Brissett (ankle) is not on the injury report, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

    Analysis: Brissett suffered an ankle injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Jets, but he played through the issue and appears fully on track for Thursday's game against the Steelers. Still, with a short turnaround Week 3, Brissett's status will be worth monitoring in practice. The Browns currently have Joshua Dobbs and Kellen Mond on the roster behind Brissett.

  • Efficient until costly interception

    Brissett (ankle) completed 22 of 27 passes for 229 yards, one touchdown and one interception in Sunday's 31-30 loss to the Jets. He added 43 yards on six rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Brissett completed his first nine passes and bounced back from his first incompletion by connecting with Amari Cooper for a six-yard touchdown on the very next play. Cleveland's quarterback cooled down after that, but a three-touchdown rushing performance from Nick Chubb seemingly had Cleveland in position to win until the Jets scored two touchdowns a minute apart after the two-minute warning. A 21-yard scramble from Brissett got the Browns close to field-goal range, but he threw an…read more

    Brissett completed 18 of 34 passes for 147 yards with one touchdown and no interceptions in the Browns' 26-24 win over the Panthers on Sunday. He also rushed four times for 10 yards.

    Analysis: Brissett's final line is likely of little surprise to those who've witnessed the veteran's handiwork in past seasons. Head coach Kevin Stefanski unsurprisingly had Brissett play it safe most of the afternoon, leaning heavily on Nick Chubb and Kareem Hunt to the tune of 33 carries overall. Brissett did stay away from turnovers, took only one sack and made key completions to Donovan Peoples-Jones and Amari Cooper on the game-winning drive, all which ultimately helped ensure Cleveland was able to…read more

  • Ineffective in preseason finale

    Brissett completed 13 of 23 passes for 109 yards and one interception in Cleveland's preseason game against Chicago on Saturday.

    Analysis: Brissett has obvious limitations and a game like this is a reminder that his passing abilities are far below average among starters, but he still seems locked in as Cleveland's starter for the 11 games Deshaun Watson is suspended. Brissett will need to play better than this when the regular season starts, though.

    Analysis: Coach Kevin Stefanski declined to outline how long Brissett will play Saturday, but once the QB gets his snaps in, his focus will shift toward preparing for a Week 1 start against the Panthers. Meanwhile, Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen are competing for the Browns' No. 2 QB role behind Brissett, with Deshaun Watson in line to serve an 11-game suspension to begin the 2022 season. As Stefanski told Cabot, Dobbs is slated to follow Brissett versus Chicago, while Rosen also should subsequently log…read more

    Analysis: Coach Kevin Stefanski previously noted that Deshaun Watson -- who is in line to serve an 11-game suspension to begin the 2022 season -- won't play in the Browns' final two preseason games. With Brissett, the team's presumed early-season starter, not in line to play Sunday, Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen are slated to handle Cleveland's QB reps versus Philadelphia.

  • Making safe plays

    Brissett was on the field with the starting offense during Thursday's joint practice with the Eagles and was notable for making short throws during drills, Ashley Bastock of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: The Browns' offense takes on a different look without Deshaun Watson, whose suspension increased from six to 11 games Thursday, and there was evidence of how it will change with Brissett under center. He completed most of his passes and didn't turn the ball over but didn't take many chances deep. The passing game may be less daring or willing to force big plays, and there is an expectation that the offense will be a run-heavy unit. The differences between the two quarterbacks became apparent…read more

    Brissett is in line to work as the Browns' starting QB to begin the coming season, with teammate Deshaun Watson slated to serve an 11-game suspension, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: With Watson unavailable until Week 13, Brissett is expected to serve in the former's place, while Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen are in the backup mix. It's possible the Browns could explore other options in the coming weeks, but Brissett, an experienced pro capable of helming an NFL offense, has drawn the praise of coach Kevin Stefanski, who has "been very impressed" with the veteran signal-caller. "Very comfortable with him," Stefanski said of Brissett. "I think he has a very good understanding…read more

    Brissett quarterbacked the first-team offense during 11-on-11 drills Monday, Anthony Poisal of the Browns' official site reports.

    Analysis: Brissett mostly has been working with the second unit during practice sessions, but the Browns need to prepare him for Week 1 of the regular season, knowing they'll likely be without Deshaun Watson for at least six games. Meanwhile, Watson was on the field with the second unit Monday. Brissett, who did not play in the preseason opener against the Jaguars, figures to make his debut this coming Sunday against the Eagles.

While Brissett is not expected to play Friday, Deshaun Watson is slated to start at QB for the Browns, with Joshua Dobbs and Josh Rosen also in the mix to see work versus Jacksonville.

At the start of training camp, coach Kevin Stefanski indicated that Brissett would fill in as Cleveland's starting QB in the event of a Watson suspension, and as things stand, Brissett is slated to handle the role through the team's Week 6 contest against the Patriots on Oct. 16.

    Brissett worked with the first-team offensive line after Deshaun Watson operated behind the unit Saturday, Zac Jackson of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: As has been the case since camp started Wednesday, Watson was first in line behind the starting offensive front, but coaches reserved snaps for Brissett, who is expected to lead the team if/when Watson is suspended. Cleveland head coach Kevin Stefanski acknowledged the potential suspension of Watson and an ensuing change in practice snap counts depending on the terms of the disciplinary action.

    Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said both Brissett and Deshaun Watson will get "a ton of reps" this summer, with Brissett in line to start at quarterback if Watson is suspended, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.

    Analysis: With Baker Mayfield out of the picture, Brissett would be the unquestioned starter in the event Watson is suspended. Stefanski also mentioned that Joshua Dobbs is ahead of the newly signed Josh Rosen for the No. 3 job, which might equate to the backup role early in the season.

    Brissett and Joshua Dobbs are left as the Browns' remaining depth options behind Deshaun Watson on the quarterback depth chart after Baker Mayfield was traded to the Panthers on Wednesday, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Though it had been presumed that Brissett would be next in line to start for Cleveland if Watson is suspended by the NFL, the possibility existed that Mayfield and the Browns could settle their differences following his request to be traded earlier in the offseason.

Robinson, concluded this past Thursday, and while there's not a timetable for a determination on a possible suspension, a…read more

    Brissett's chances of starting multiple games in 2022 appear to be increasing due to expanding legal issues surrounding Deshaun Watson in addition to the Browns' strained relationship with Baker Mayfield.

    Analysis: The news cycle has once again been busy on the Watson front in the early part of this week, with Sarah Barshop and Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reporting that two new civil lawsuits against the star quarterback have been filed.

Brissett was truly miserable as Tua Tagovailoa's backup last season finishing the season with 1,114 passing yards, five touchdowns and three interceptions across five starts, but the 29-year-old has a wealth of experience and has proven capable when forced into action in the past.

    Brissett logged five starts (11 appearances) in 2021, and concludes the campaign with 141 completions on 225 pass attempts, for 1,283 yards, five touchdowns and four interceptions.

    Analysis: Brissett was only able to lead Miami's offense to two wins during his time at the helm, and on the season he only averaged 5.7 yards per pass attempt. Though Brissett added 19 carries for 3.7 yards and a score, he also lost three of six fumbles. The 29-year-old veteran is now scheduled for free agency, meaning he will likely have to pursue his next backup gig elsewhere.

However, Tua Tagovailoa (finger) entered the game and played well, inspiring coach Brian Flores to leave Brissett on the bench for the rest of the night.

However, after entering the medical tent, Brissett was spotted with his helmet on the sideline and appeared available to enter the game. However, Tua Tagovailoa (finger) energized the Dolphins offense upon entering the game, and the team stuck with him under center as a result.

    Analysis: Brissett took a hard hit early in the third quarter and seemed to be in clear pain while grabbing at his right knee. He entered the medical tent but since returned to the sideline with his helmet and has been seen testing his mobility. For the time being, Tua Tagovailoa (finger) has entered the game despite also not being fully healthy himself.

  • Another spot start

    Brissett will start Thursday's game against the Ravens with Tua Tagovailoa (finger) serving as the Dolphins' backup quarterback, Cameron Wolfe of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: As was the case this past Sunday, Brissett will get another spot start, his fifth overall this season, as Tagovailoa continues to recover from a fractured left middle finger. In the previous four outings, Brissett completed 65.2 percent of his passes, averaged 233.3 yards per game and tossed five touchdowns versus three interceptions. He also added 11 carries for 52 yards and one more score. Brissett will attempt to exploit a Baltimore defense that has conceded the fifth-highest YPA (8.1) to…read more

  • Serviceable in spot start

    Brissett completed 26 of 43 passes for 244 yards with one touchdown and two interceptions in the Dolphins' 17-9 win over the Texans on Sunday. He also rushed once for seven yards and lost a fumble.

    Analysis: The veteran was called into action when Tua Tagovailoa was deemed a bit too risky a proposition to start the contest due to his finger fracture. Brissett performed reasonably well under the circumstances, although the pair of interceptions were a blemish. Brissett also encouragingly got Jaylen Waddle more involved downfield than in prior games, connecting with the talented rookie on eight occasions for 83 yards. The 28-year-old Brissett may be set for another start Thursday night against the…read more

  • Getting surprise start Week 9

    Brissett is expected to start Sunday's game against the Texans with No. 1 quarterback Tua Tagovailoa (finger/ribs) likely to be available only in a backup capacity, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Schefter notes that Tagovailoa hasn't healed as quickly as anticipated from a small fracture in the middle finger of his throwing hand, so Brissett will be in line to pick up his fourth start of the season. Because the Dolphins didn't add another quarterback to the roster prior to Saturday's deadline for Week 9 transactions, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network relays that Tagovailoa is in line to back up Brissett.

Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) resumed practicing Tuesday and is eligible to come off injured reserve this weekend against the Jaguars in London, but the Dolphins haven't yet brought him back to the active roster.

Even if the 28-year-old is cleared to suit up for Week 6, he isn't guaranteed a starting role because Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) could return to practice and do enough to clear himself ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Brissett strained a hamstring in the first quarter but was able to play through it, though his mobility was clearly limited, which is why he didn't register a rushing attempt. He gave the Dolphins a 10-7 lead with a 24-yard touchdown pass to Myles Gaskin late in the first quarter, but the Buccaneers responded with 17 unanswered points in the second.

If the injury ends up being serious enough to threaten Brissett's Week 6 status, Tagovailoa's progress will be worth monitoring closely as next weekend's game against the Jaguars approaches.

  • Improved play not enough Sunday

    Brissett completed 20 of 30 passes for 199 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions in the Colts' 27-17 win over the Dolphins on Sunday. He also rushed three times for eight yards and committed two fumbles, losing one and recovering the other.

    Analysis: Brissett was able to connect on touchdowns with Mike Gesicki and DeVante Parker from one and three yards out, respectively, in the fourth quarter, but it was a bit too late to make a difference for the otherwise listless Dolphins. The veteran quarterback's first two scoring tosses of the season also were partly offset by his fumble deep in his own territory on the first play of the fourth quarter, a play that helped lead to a Colts field goal and extend Indianapolis' lead to 20-3.

    Brissett completed 32 of 49 passes for 215 yards without a touchdown or interception in Sunday's 31-29 overtime loss to the Raiders. He also carried the ball seven times for 37 yards and a touchdown.

    Analysis: While he did lead the Dolphins to a game-tying touchdown at the end of regulation, scrambling for a one-yard TD and then hitting Will Fuller for a two-point conversion, Brissett otherwise had little success moving the ball in his first start of the season, despite a huge volume of pass attempts. With Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) out for at least two more games, Brissett will be under center again Week 4 at home against the Colts, but he may need to do more than just avoid turnovers to get Miami into…read more

    Brissett could be in line to start additional games beyond Week 3 after Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) was placed on injured reserve Saturday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

    Analysis: Brissett looked dreadful in relief of Tagovailoa last week, completing just 60 percent of his 40 passes for a measly 169 yards to go along with a pick. Another game like that might have the Dolphins looking for alternatives at quarterback, although it seems like the team is anticipating the minimum three-week injured reserve stint for the franchise signal caller, which might render the notion a moot point.

    Analysis: Brissett is set to make at least one spot start under center while Tua Tagovailoa works to recover from fractured ribs. The veteran journeyman will need to demonstrate more competency helming Miami's offense for any chance of a Week 3 victory, as he was unable to put any points on the scoreboard during last weekend's 35-0 loss to the Bills despite seeing enough playing time to log 40 pass attempts.

    Analysis: Tagovailoa was ruled out Wednesday and is considered week-to-week after being diagnosed with fractured ribs. Brissett replaced the second-year pro at the start of Miami's third drive in Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills, ultimately completing 24 of 40 passes for only 169 yards, while taking four sacks and tossing an interception. Brissett should look a bit better with more practice reps this week, and the ice-cold Miami offense could get a boost from Will Fuller's expected season debut.

    Brissett replaced the injured Tua Tagovailoa (ribs) in the first quarter of Sunday's 35-0 loss to the Bills and completed 24 of 40 passes for 169 yards and an interception. He also had eight yards on four rushing attempts.

    Analysis: Brissett didn't lead his team to any points after Tagovailoa was carted off on Miami's second drive. Tua's status moving forward will be determined by the result of further testing on his rib injury. Brissett will start on the road against the Raiders in Week 3 if Tagovailoa can't go, though the veteran backup's poor performance in this one suggests he won't be a go-to fantasy option if he plays.

    Brissett has agreed to a one-year deal with Miami, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: The 28-year-old gives the Dolphins a capable backup to work behind 2020 first-rounder Tua Tagovailoa. Brissett, who entered the league in 2016 as a third-round pick of the Patriots, didn't see much action with the Colts last season, but he does have a couple of years worth of NFL starting experience under his belt.

    Brissett and fellow Colts QB Philip Rivers both can become unrestricted free agents this offseason, Zak Keefer of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: With Rivers healthy for the entire 2020 campaign, Brissett's main contribution to the Colts was subbing in for some short-yardage plays. He scored three short rushing TDs and attempted just eight passes, never really getting a chance to rebound from his disappointing performance over 15 starts in 2019. While he's unlikely to find a team that wants him in a starting role, Brissett should at least be recognized as one of the better backup QBs, and he might even be a fallback plan for the Colts if…read more

    Brissett didn't complete his lone pass but gained two yards on his lone carry in Sunday's 27-20 win over the Texans.

    Analysis: The Colts seemed to give Brissett the reins for an entire drive, but he was unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Brissett should continue to spell Philip Rivers in QB sneak situations, as he's logged at least one snap in seven straight games.

    Brissett was sacked on his only play in Sunday's 27-20 loss at Jacksonville. He went under center and ran a quarterback option play at the goal line.

    Analysis: Coach Frank Reich said during the preseason that Brissett could play a handful of snaps per game to take advantage of his mobility. Brissett was brought in for such a situation Sunday, but the play was read easily by the Jacksonville defense and resulted in a critical losing play. Reich may have to reconsider Brissett's usage as a result. Brissett otherwise will serve as the backup to Philip Rivers.

    Analysis: Ballard did add a slightly more favorable comment: "Right now, I'll say Jacoby is our starting quarterback." Of course, it could be argued that 'right now' is the crucial part of the quote, with the implication that the Colts will try to find an upgrade.

    Analysis: Brissett's late-season slide hit rock bottom after the signal-caller fell below a 50 percent completion rate for the first time in a game this season. The 26-year-old was looking like an adequate replacement for Andrew Luck (retirement) after a strong first half of the season when he posted a 64.5 completion rate, 1,590 passing yards and a 14:3 TD:INT ratio through the first seven games of the campaign.

    Analysis: Brissett was held under 200 yards passing for the fourth time in his last six games. He has thrown just four touchdowns during that span. Without much traction in the passing game, Brissett relied on his legs to make a few big plays, scoring the Colts' first touchdown on a first-quarter sneak and then converting a third down with a big 24-yard run in the second quarter to set up Indianapolis' third touchdown.

The signal-caller's 4.9 yards per attempt marked a season low, and Brissett has now thrown for under 175 yards in three of his last five outings.

    Analysis: Brissett was inefficient against the vulnerable Buccaneers secondary, but he found Marcus Johnson for a 46-yard touchdown just 2:15 into the game and added a 12-yard touchdown to Zach Pascal in the third quarter. He has a tidy 18:6 TD:INT this season, but that ratio is 4:3 over his past six games.

That efficiency continued for much of the first half, as he was 10-for-14 with 132 yards and a touchdown through two quarters.

    Analysis: Brissett's final passing line says it all as far as how lackluster the air attack was Thursday, even with the return to action of T.Y. Hilton (calf). The fourth-year quarterback's passing yardage total served as a season low for him in a non-injury-shortened game, and it was his second straight sub-200-yard effort overall while playing all four quarters.

    Analysis: Brissett didn't put up a massive statistical performance, but he capped two key drives in the third quarter by finding the end zone. The first came on the team's initial drive of the second half, when he completed a one-yard pass to Marcus Johnson. On the second drive, he found the end zone on his own with a five-yard rush.

With No. 2 quarterback Brian Hoyer coming off a three-interception performance in the Week 10 loss to the Dolphins, Brissett's return to the starting lineup would offer Indianapolis' offense a well-timed chance to get back on track.

    Analysis: Despite practicing in a limited capacity last week, Brissett was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Dolphins due to a left MCL sprain suffered one week prior. As intimated by Reich, Brissett's upcoming availability likely depends on his activity level at Wednesday's practice. Consequently, how he's listed on the ensuing injury report could offer a hint at Reich's eventual decision. If Brissett begins to trend toward another absence, veteran Brian Hoyer is available for another start.

  • Optimistic about Week 10 status

    Brissett (knee) indicated Tuesday that he's feeling better since exiting Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Steelers with a sprained MCL and remains optimistic about his chances of playing in Week 10 versus the Dolphins, George Bremer of The Anderson Herald Bulletin reports.

    Analysis: Brissett was unwilling to make any definitive claims regarding his status for the Colts' first practice of the week Wednesday, much less Sunday's game, but his positive outlook regarding the injury at least provides some early hope that he'll avoid missing time. If he's ultimately unable to go, veteran Brian Hoyer would receive the starting nod at quarterback.
