        DeForest Buckner Active

        Colts DT DeForest Buckner is active for today's game against the Texans. It'll be his first game back from a five-week high ankle sprain, so we'll see if Buckner's back to his full role. But he carries IDP upside anytime he's on the field.

        The Colts have placed DT DeForest Buckner on IR after MRI confirmed a high-ankle sprain, according to Nate Atkins of the Indianapolis Star. That means Buckner will miss at least the next four games. The veteran had missed just one game because of injury through Week 2 of his ninth season (plus one more for a positive COVID test).
