Pats acquire WR Phillip Dorsett from Colts for QB Jacoby Brissett

The New England Patriots are trading quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, a league source tells ESPN.

Brissett arrives to Indianapolis with the Colts uncertain about quarterback Andrew Luck's status for Week 1 after offseason shoulder surgery. Scott Tolzien is expected to start if Luck isn't able to play against the Los Angeles Rams.

The 5-foot-10, 185-pound Dorsett was a 2015 first-round draft choice of the Indianapolis Colts (29th overall). He has played in 26 regular-season games (7 starts), totaling 51 catches for 753 yards and three touchdowns.
