Colts place DT DeForest Buckner on injured reserve
The Colts on Friday placed defensive tackle DeForest Buckner on injured reserve, meaning he will miss at least the Colts' next four games.
The Colts have a bye week in Week 11, so Buckner will be eligible to return starting in Week 15. Shane Steichen said Buckner sustained a neck injury during the Colts' Week 9 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Buckner has missed a total of six games in his career due to injury; he was placed on injured reserve last season with an ankle injury and missed five weeks.
The Colts made the trade Tuesday for Gardner, a two-time first-team AP All-Pro cornerback.

BERLIN — The Colts landed in Germany without their most disruptive defensive player, and it turns out they'll be without him for awhile.

The Colts are hopeful Buckner can return at some point, but his absence will be a blow to the defense for however long he is out. Buckner leads the Colts with 20 pressures despite facing double-teams on 64.2% of his pass-rush snaps.
