DeForest Buckner - Page 18 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Explodes for three sacks vs. Texans Buckner had four tackles (three solo), three sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.

Impact Buckner set a new single-game career high with three sacks, one of which created a key takeaway from DeShaun Watson in the first quarter of Sunday's divisional win. The 26-year-old earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance, small recompense to make up for being a Pro Bowl snub. Through 13 games in his first season with the Colts, Buckner has 52 tackles (33 solo), 7.5 sacks, one defended pass and a pair of forced fumbles.

DECEMBER 20, 2020 • YOUTUBE

Gearing up Sunday Buckner (ankle) is active for Sunday's game versus the Texans.

Impact Buckner shook off the injury that held him back during the practice week. The 26-year-old will start at defensive tackle, aiming to pressure Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson and slow down running back David Johnson. Through 12 games this season, Buckner has produced 48 tackles, 4.5 sacks, a pass breakup and a forced fumble.

Questionable for Sunday Buckner (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.

Impact Buckner surfaced as a limited participant on the injury report Thursday. The 26-year-old defensive tackle downgraded to non-participation Friday, signaling that he's trending in the wrong direction for the Week 15 divisional bout. Due to a stint on the COVID-19 list this season, Buckner missed his first game in four years, but he otherwise rarely sits out. If that trend breaks, Tyquan Lewis and Taylor Stallworth will both see significant increases in playing time.

Pops up on injury report Buckner (ankle) was a limited participant during Thursday's practice.

Impact The specifics of the ankle injury remain unclear, but it's certainly not a good sign that Buckner was an add to the injury report Thursday. The Oregon product has been strong in a starting role this season, racking up 48 tackles (30 solo), 4.5 sacks and a forced fumble through 12 games. If Buckner were to miss Sunday's game against Houston, both Tyquan Lewis and Taylor Stallworth would be in line for an uptick in snaps.
