Colts' DeForest Buckner Placed on Injured Reserve Due to Ankle Sprain

The star defensive tackle will miss at least four games, dealing a significant blow to Indianapolis' struggling defense.

DeForest Buckner suffered a right high ankle sprain during the Colts' Week 2 loss to the Packers.
Buckner, a Pro Bowl defensive tackle, has missed only one game due to injury in his nine-year NFL career.
The Colts have allowed a league-worst 474 rushing yards in their first two games this season.
Indianapolis has added Genard Avery to the 53-man roster and made several practice squad adjustments in response.
The Colts are already dealing with other key injuries, including the loss of Samson Ebukam to an Achilles injury.
