Colts’ DeForest Buckner named AFC Defensive Player of the Week

Colts defensive tackle DeForest Buckner was named the AFC Defensive Player of the Week for his efforts in the 27-20 win over the Texans.
Despite a season-low 51% of snaps, Buckner found several ways to ruin the day for the Texans. He finished with 3.0 sacks, four quarterback hits, and two tackles for loss while leading the defense with five total pressures.

Colts place DE Denico Autry on COVID-19 list

The Colts have placed defensive end Denico Autry on the reserve/COVID-19 list, the team announced Friday.
Autry popped up on the injury report on Thursday that was listed as an illness. It isn’t clear if Autry tested positive for COVID-19 or if he was in close contact with someone that did.

The Colts also had defensive tackle Grover Stewart and defensive ends Tyquan Lewis and Al-Quadin Muhammad on the injury report listed non-injury related reasons, but head coach Frank Reich said they are good to go.
In addition to Autry, special teams coordinator Bubba Ventrone will also miss the game due to COVID-related issues
