The Indianapolis Colts are placing All-Pro defensive tackle DeForest Buckner on injured reserve, according to multiple reports.
Colts got semi-good news on DT DeForest Buckner after MRI. He sustained a high sprain to right ankle, but it is not season-ending, per source. Buckner clearly will miss a few games.

FOX59’s Mike Chappell was the first to report Buckner’s high-ankle sprain. Buckner suffered the high-ankle sprain to his right ankle during Indianapolis’ 16-10 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.
The 30-year-old defensive tackle now heads to IR, meaning he’ll miss at least the team’s next four games against the Chicago Bears, Pittsburgh Steelers, Jacksonville Jaguars (away) and Tennessee Titans (away).
