INDIANAPOLIS -- The Indianapolis Colts didn’t bring Jacoby Brissett to be complacent as Scott Tolzien’s backup at quarterback.
They want more out of Brisett. They Colts want him to push Tolzien for the starting job until Andrew Luck returns from his shoulder injury.
“That’s why we brought him here,” coach Chuck Pagano said. “He’s no different than anybody else. He’ll have an opportunity to compete. Scott’s the starter and he has to produce, everybody has to produce.”
Brisett, who was traded from New England for receiver Phillip Dorsett, has the chance to challenge Tolzien for snaps because Tolzien didn't prove he was the clear option during the preseason.
