Colts DeForest Buckner listed as non-participant in Week 17 practice

Colts’ DT DeForest Buckner was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday’s Week 17 injury report.

Indianapolis Colts’ defensive tackle DeForest Buckner did not practice on Wednesday.

The Colts held a walkthrough on Wednesday as the team prepares for a Week 17 game against the Jacksonville Jaguars, so today’s injury report is just an estimation.

Buckner was listed as a non-participant with a neck injury.

A neck injury is what sidelined him for much of the second half of the season. This past Monday against San Francisco was Buckner’s first game back from injured reserve. He was placed on IR after the Colts’ Week 8 game.

Buckner would play 44 of the Colts’ 66 defensive snaps against the 49ers, tied for the most on the team among defensive tackles.

In his return, Buckner recorded three quarterback pressures and made five tackles in the run game.

It’s too early in the week to know what Buckner’s availability for Sunday’s game could be, but any time a player misses a practice, it’s worth monitoring.
