The New England Patriots have traded third string quarterback Jacoby Brissett to the Indianapolis Colts for Phillip Dorsett.

Andrew Luck's status for Week 1 is uncertain as he recovers from offseason shoulder surgery. Scott Tolzien will start if Luck is unable to play.

Dorsett was a 2015 first-round draft choice of the Colts (29th overall). He has played in 26 regular-season games (seven starts), totaling 51 catches for 753 yards and 3 touchdowns.

Brissett started and played all 66 snaps in the team's preseason finale against the Giants, going 28-of-39 for 341 yards, with 4 touchdowns and 1 interception. He also rushed for a touchdown.
