Colts' DeForest Buckner: Ready to rock
The Colts activated Buckner (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, in advance of Sunday's divisional matchup at Houston.
Buckner has missed five games since being placed on IR due to a high-ankle sprain sustained Week 2, and he's now all clear for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Doesn't practice Friday
Buckner (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Friday's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Buckner's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he looked to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Thursday. However, he wasn't on the field for Friday's session, and it's uncertain whether it was a planned rest day or a setback. Unless announced sooner, Buckner's status for Sunday's game will be known once the Colts release their inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Returns to practice field
Bucker (ankle) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Buckner was designated to return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, opening up his 21-day practice window. Whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Texans remains in question and probably won't be known until closer to kickoff. It is likely, though, that the Colts will want the Oregon product to log a full practice before sending him out on the field for game day.

Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that he was "optimistic" about Buckner (ankle) returning to practice ahead of Week 8, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Buckner has been sidelined for the Colts' last five games as he's been nursing an ankle injury he suffered in Week 2 at Green Bay, but it now seems like he could be trending towards coming back soon.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Could return to practice next week
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that he's optimistic Buckner's (ankle) 21-day practice window will open next week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Buckner has missed the Colts' last four games on injured reserve after sustaining an ankle injury in Indianapolis' Week 2 loss to the Packers. However, Steichen's comments Friday suggest Buckner is nearing a return to the field. If the 30-year-old defensive lineman is able to begin practicing next week, the Colts will have 21 days to activate him to their active roster before he reverts to IR.

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.
