Will DeForest Buckner be ready for Week 1 ???
Buckner, acquired via a trade with the San Francisco 49ers in March of 2020, is arguably the Colts’ best defensive player. However, the 32-year-old underwent neck surgery near the end of last season and did not practice this spring. I spoke to Buckner at his annual kids-camp about his recovery, and he was non-committal on when he could return ...... “The goal is Week 1,” he said ...... if Buckner isn’t ready for the season-opener, or worse, if he can’t regain his All-Pro form at any point in 2026, then the Indianapolis pass-rush will suffer tremendously.
