Puts up another sack Buckner recorded six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Buckner has notched a sack in each game since returning from a five-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Considering he hasn't lost a step and is still handling a significant snap share -- 60 and 76 percent the last two weeks, respectively -- Buckner should be considered a solid DL start moving forward.

Ready to rock The Colts activated Buckner (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, in advance of Sunday's divisional matchup at Houston.

Impact Buckner has missed five games since being placed on IR due to a high-ankle sprain sustained Week 2, and he's now all clear for Sunday's game against the Texans. The Colts have lifted Buckner's initial 'questionable' designation for Week 8 action entirely, indicating that the star defensive tackle is ready to handle his usual starting workload.

OCTOBER 26, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Doesn't practice Friday Buckner (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Friday's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.

Impact Buckner's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he looked to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Thursday. However, he wasn't on the field for Friday's session, and it's uncertain whether it was a planned rest day or a setback. Unless announced earlier, Buckner's status for Sunday's game will be known once the Colts release their inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
