Colts QB Brissett to play Sunday; WR Hilton out

Jacoby Brissett will be back at quarterback on Sunday for the Indianapolis Colts when they face the Jacksonville Jaguars. "Jacoby was full go the whole week," coach Frank Reich told reporters on Friday. "He looked good, so he'll be our starter."

Brissett sprained his left knee in the Colts' 26-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 3. He sat out last Sunday's game, a four-point loss to the Miami Dolphins. Reich said he couldn't estimate how near the quarterback was to 100 percent recovered.

"He's looked really good. I really don't want to put a percentage on it. I know he's good enough to play," Reich said. On the season, the 26-year-old Brissett has completed 64.8 percent of his passes for 1,649 yards in eight starts. He's thrown 14 touchdowns and been intercepted three times.

Reich also announced that No. 1 receiver T.Y. Hilton will miss the game with a calf injury. He last played on Oct. 27 in a win against Denver. Hilton, a four-time Pro Bowl selection, has 32 receptions for 360 yards and five touchdowns in 2019.
