The injury report for the Indianapolis Colts appeared to be ticking up ahead of Week 16. The team was going to get star defensive lineman DeForest Buckner back against the San Francisco 49ers. Things took a turn for the worse a day before the game.
Indianapolis announced that left tackle Bernhard Raimann, who hurt his elbow in Week 15, will miss the game. He was previously listed as questionable. His absence likely means the Colts will turn to Luke Tenuta to start, and that might be quite grave.
San Francisco struggles to get much pressure on opposing quarterbacks and only has 16 sacks this season (last in the NFL by a good amount).
