Colts DT DeForest Buckner came away from Sunday's loss to the Buccaneers with a knee injury that has his status iffy for Week 13. “I don’t know if we’re going to see him at the beginning of the week,” HC Frank Reich said Monday, according to the Indianapolis Star, referring to the start of the practice week. “We’ll hopefully see him at the end of the week, but we’re going to have to take it day by day. There’s no guarantee on him.” Losing Buckner would be a significant absence for the Colts D and IDP lineups, but a matchup with Houston would soften the blow for Indy.
