Colts' DeForest Buckner: Hopeful for Week 2
Head coach Shane Steichen is hopeful Buckner (back) will be able to play this Sunday against the Packers, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Buckner left late in Sunday's 29-27 loss to the Texans, recording six total tackles, including 1.5 sacks, before his exit. Any missed time for the Oregon product, whom Steichen described as "tough as nails" when discussing his potential Week 2 availability, would be a major blow for the Colts' defense. Buckner's practice status in the days ahead may help shed some light on how likely he'll be to play against Green Bay, but it is also possible he could just suit up without practicing this week.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Exits with back injury
Buckner left Sunday's loss to Houston with a back injury and did not return, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. He had six total tackles, 1.5 sacks and a tackle for a loss before departing.
The extent of Buckner's injury isn't clear. He was his usual disruptive force in Sunday's game, so any missed time will impact the Indy defense.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Gets two-year extension
Buckner and the Colts agreed to terms Monday on a two-year, $46 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Buckner penned a four-year, $84 million extension with Indianapolis back in 2020, when the team traded the No. 13 overall pick in that year's draft to the 49ers in exchange for the defensive tackle, and he now inks a substantial extension to remain with the Colts through 2026. The 30-year-old tallied a career-high 81 total tackles across 17 regular-season games last season, and he's logged 8.0 sacks in back-to-back years.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Gets sack in season finale
Buckner recorded six tackles (one solo), including a sack, in Saturday's 23-19 loss versus the Texans.
Over 17 games this season, Buckner recorded 81 tackles (45 solo) including eight sacks and two forced fumbles, adding a fumble recovery returned for a touchdown. His tackle total was a career high, and his production as a pass rusher remained remarkable for a defensive tackle. Perhaps just as impressive is the fact he still hasn't missed a game since 2020. He has one year remaining on his current contract and is clearly still one of the league's better interior defensive linemen.
