Colts coach Frank Reich said quarterback Jacoby Brissett is likely dealing with a sprained left knee that is possibly "MCL-ish," according to the Indianapolis Star.
Brissett went down early in the second quarter of Sunday's game against the Steelers after guard Quenton Nelson stepped on his left ankle. Nelson then appeared to fall on Brissett's left leg.

After going down briefly, Brissett left the field under his own power but did not return.
"I think it looks like a sprain, but we'll see to what degree," Reich said (via 1070 The Fan). "We have to see how it responds."
Brian Hoyer replaced Brissett and threw for 168 yards and three touchdowns, but also had a pick-six as the Steelers won, 26-24.
The Colts are now 5-3 and are obviously hoping Brissett's injury doesn't cost him significant playing time.
