Overview
- The IR move requires a minimum four-game absence that spans the Week 11 bye, making Week 15 at Seattle the earliest return window.
- Buckner sustained the neck injury in the Week 9 loss to the Steelers, and the team has not set a timetable beyond the IR mandate.
- Neville Gallimore is set to start alongside Grover Stewart on the interior, with Adetomiwa Adebawore in the rotation.
- Defensive ends Samson Ebukam (knee) and Tyquan Lewis (groin) were ruled out for Sunday in Berlin, further depleting the front.
- Cornerback Sauce Gardner cleared concussion protocol and is expected to make his Colts debut against the Falcons.
