Buckner was questionable for today’s game after working through a back injury during the week that held him out of practice this week. But as Buckner has done throughout his career, he was available for the game.

Since arriving in Indianapolis in 2020, Buckner has been the prime example of a player who is both consistent and disruptive. Buckner is averaging almost 54 pressures and eight sacks per season during that span.
