Here’s why the Colts being without DT DeForest Buckner on Sunday shouldn’t incite trepidation.
The Indianapolis Colts have come a long way in the injury department since the start of the regular season, when numerous vital players on both sides of the ball were either declared out for the year or faced multi-week absences.
While every player in the NFL is experiencing discomfort in some form at this stage of the campaign, fans can take serious comfort knowing that the Colts’ injury report is extremely limited heading into Sunday’s colossal showdown against Houston.
