Colts Open 21-Day Window as DeForest Buckner Returns to Practice
The limited session starts the clock on his return, with medical clearance and a roster move still needed before he can be available in Week 15.
Overview
- Head coach Shane Steichen said DeForest Buckner participated in Wednesday's practice on a limited basis.
- By returning to practice, Buckner's 21-day window to be activated from injured reserve has begun.
- He remains on injured reserve with a Week 10 neck injury and this is his first week of eligibility to return.
- Activation can occur at any point in the window, but he must be medically cleared before he can play.
- In his absence, Chris Wormley, Grover Stewart, Adetomiwa Adebawore, and Neville Gallimore have handled the defensive tackle rotation as the Colts await the return of their high-impact interior lineman.
