While he’ll formally remain on injured reserve, this designation provides Buckner a 21-day window in which he can practice with his teammates. If he’s not activated off injured reserve during or at the end of this 3-week window (*and he can be activated anytime off of it), then he will remain on injured reserve for the remainder of the 2024 season.
