Colts' DeForest Buckner and Laiatu Latu Suffer Injuries in Loss to Packers

Both key defensive players were forced to leave the game, with Buckner's ankle injury appearing more severe.

  • DeForest Buckner left the game in the third quarter with a right ankle injury and was carted off the field after being unable to put weight on his leg.
  • Rookie defensive end Laiatu Latu exited in the fourth quarter with a hip injury and is awaiting further evaluation.
  • X-rays on Buckner's ankle were negative, but an MRI is needed to determine the full extent of the injury.
  • Buckner was already limited to third downs due to a back injury and has a history of playing through significant injuries.
  • The Colts' defense, already struggling against the run, faces further challenges with the potential loss of their two best pass rushers.
