Colts Week 15 injury report: Buckner returns; Gardner doesn't practice

[ASFN Admin]

The Indianapolis Colts released the team's first official injury report of Week 15.

Returning to the practice field was DeForest Buckner, who has been on injured reserve since Week 10.

This opened a 21-day window for him to be added back to the 53-man roster. Buckner was limited on Wednesday.

Not practicing were Sauce Gardner (calf), Anthony Gould (foot), Tyquan Lewis (ankle), and Braden Smith (concussion).

Given Ian Rapoport's latest report, it does not sound like Gardner will be returning this week. Smith exited Sunday's game in Jacksonville with a concussion.

Lewis was held out of this past Sunday's game with an ankle injury.

Riley Leonard is working through a knee injury, but was a full participant. However, his availability doesn't guarantee that he will start against Seattle. Phillip Rivers remains an option.

Lastly, Jaylon Jones (back), Alec Pierce (rib), Josh Downs (ankle), and Zaire Franklin (knee) were all full participants.
