Indianapolis Colts quarterback Jacoby Brissett will start Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars after missing Week 10 with a knee injury, head coach Frank Reich announced Friday, per Zak Keefer of The Athletic.

Meanwhile, wide receiver T.Y. Hilton will miss his third straight game due to a calf injury.

Brissett suffered the injury in a loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers and was replaced by Brian Hoyer, who also started last week's shock defeat to the Miami Dolphins.

The back-to-back losses have dropped Indianapolis to 5-4 and behind the Houston Texans in the AFC South, while the Jaguars sit on the edge of playoff contention at 4-5.

Brissett - who was pushed into the starting role following the surprise retirement of Andrew Luck - has thrown for 1,649 yards, 14 touchdowns, and three interceptions in eight starts this season.
