Colts' DeForest Buckner: Misses again
Buckner (groin) did not practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Buckner has now missed consecutive practices after logging a DNP on Wednesday as well. It's still not clear the severity of the injury and if the team is just being cautious with their star lineman, or if he's in true danger of being unable to play Sunday against the Rams. His practice status for Friday will likely help bring some clarity on the matter.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Receives day off
Buckner (undisclosed) is not practicing Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
It's unknown what injury Buckner may be dealing with, or if this is just a rest day for the veteran linebacker. The Oregan product played 79 percent of the team's defensive snaps in Week 3, which was up from his total in Week 1 and 2. His status for Thursday's practice will be worth monitoring heading into Sunday's game against the Rams.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Returns fumble for TD in loss
Buckner had seven total tackles, a sack, two QB hits, a forced fumble and returned a fumble for a touchdown in Sunday's loss to Jacksonville.
Buckner forced a fumble on a sack which bounced into Tank Bigsby's hands. Bigsby thought the play was over and allowed Zaire Franklin to force the ball out of his hands, which Buckner then picked up and ran 26 yards for a touchdown. Buckner showed he remains a disruptive force at defensive tackle.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Suffers injury
Buckner left practice early Thursday to tend to a foot injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
It's too soon to know the severity of the injury, but Bucker will remain sidelined until he returns to full health. The 29-year-old is an integral part of the Colts' defensive front, and there'd be little reason to rush him back. He'll now work to get healthy and return to the field.
