In August 2013, Brackett was assigned to the Utah Blaze of the Arena Football League (AFL).[6] However, in October 2013, the Blaze did not submit paperwork to return to the AFL, making Brackett a free agent again.

On October 28, 2014, Brackett was assigned to the AFL's Las Vegas Outlaws. He was named the backup to J. J. Raterink, for the 2015 season. After Raterink went down in Week 9, Brackett was named the starting quarterback for the Outlaws.[7]
