Patriots acquire WR Phillip Dorsett from Colts

Report: Patriots Trade Jacoby Brissett To Colts For Phillip Dorsett

02 September, 2017

After a dominating performance on Thursday, the Patriots have traded quarterback Jacoby Brissett. Dorsett was drafted by the Colts in the first-round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

The Patriots are trading Brissett to the Colts in exchange for wide receiver Phillip Dorsett, Field Yates of ESPN reports. But with Andrew Luck out indefinitely, Brissett could surpass Tolzien and start for the Colts within weeks - or perhaps even days.

Dorsett is in his third year in the league.

Brissett completed 28 of 39 pass attempts for 341 yards at an impressive 8.7 yards per attempt in the Patriots' final preseason game against the Giants. He was pressed into service during Tom Brady's four-game suspension when Jimmy Garoppolo went down with a shoulder injury. In 26 career games, Dorsett had just 51 receptions for 753 yards and three touchdowns. Past year he caught 33 passes for 528 yards and a touchdown. Brissett also chucked 4 touchdowns with only 1 interception.

New England needed more depth at wide receiver after Julian Edelman suffered a season-ending torn ACL in the first quarter of a preseason game against the Detroit Lions on August 25.

Dorsett is the second player acquired by the Patriots Saturday, with the team making a trade with the Detroit Lions for cornerback and special teams player Johnson Bademosi.
