The Indianapolis Colts today released their Thursday injury report for Week 16 of the NFL season against the San Francisco 49ers on Monday Night Football.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was a full participant at practice today. Buckner is working his way back from a neck injury that landed him on injured reserve. Buckner managed a full week of limited practice last week and looks to be making steady progress towards a return to game
time soon.
Cornerback Sauce Gardner missed practice today with a calf injury. Gardner still looks a way off from returning from his calf injury that was described as week to week. It appears Gardner is heading for another week of missed action.
Wide receiver Alec Pierce was limited at practice today with an Achilles injury. Colts beat reporters have said it was very much precautionary rather than a new injury. Hopefully Pierce can bounce back this week in time to play Sunday.
Left tackle Bernhard Raimann missed practice today with an elbow injury. Raimann exited the Seahawks game due to injuring his elbow and did not end up returning despite coming back to the sidelines. Raimann was an onlooker at practice today despite not managing to take part. He will be one to watch closely this week.
Quarterback Anthony Richardson made his return to practice today. Richardson was limited as he works his way back from a broken orbital bone near his eye. The Colts officially opened his 21 day practice window from injured reserve.
Wide receiver Josh Downs and linebacker Germaine Pratt both missed practice today due to personal reasons. Hopefully both are ok and will make a quick return to practice when ready.
