Colts' DeForest Buckner: Showing signs of progress
Buckner is no longer using crutches and was wearing a brace on his ankle Sunday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Bucker has been on IR due to a high-ankle sprain since Sept. 17. His lack of crutches would suggest the Oregon product is making progress in his recovery and could return as soon as he's eligible to come off injured reserve, for a Week 7 matchup with the Dolphins.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Goes on IR with high-ankle sprain
The Colts placed Buckner (ankle) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Per James Boyd of The Athletic, an MRI confirmed that Buckner sustained a right high-ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Packers. The defensive tackle will have to miss at least the next four games and won't be eligible to play until at least Week 7 against the Dolphins. The Colts signed defensive end Genard Avery off their practice squad to replace Buckner on the 53-man roster.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: More imaging ordered
Buckner (ankle) will undergo an MRI after suffering a sprained ankle in Sunday's loss to the Packers, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Buckner underwent an X-ray after he was carted off the field in the second half of Week 2's loss, and the test came back negative. Although the sprain is not expected to be serious, Rapoport suggests the veteran pass rusher is a long shot to play this Sunday against the Bears. More clarity about his status should come as the week unfolds and his MRI results become available.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Officially questionable for Sunday
Buckner (back) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Packers.
Despite not practicing all week due to a back injury sustained in Week 1, Buckner has a chance to suit up for Sunday's contest. The 30-year-old told reporters earlier in the week that he'll be a game-time decision, so his being listed as questionable comes as no surprise. If Buckner is unable to play in Week 2, expect Adetomiwa Adebawore and Raekwon Davis to see increased work with the Colts' first-team defense.
