DeForest Buckner might have played his final down for the Colts

The Indianapolis Colts have taken a few health risks this season and had them backfire in the worst way. Quarterback Daniel Jones was playing with a broken fibula before he tore his Achilles tendon on his other leg. Ahead of Week 17, the team learned that defensive lineman DeForest Buckner will miss the rest of the season after being placed on injured reserve, too.

Buckner suffered a herniated disc in Week 9 and was placed on IR. He was able to return in Week 16 and played against the San Francisco 49ers. Unfortunately, he aggravated the injury and will require surgery.
