The Indianapolis Colts released their Thursday injury report today ahead of Week 10 against the Atlanta Falcons in Germany on Sunday.
Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner missed practice today for the second day today. With the team set to travel to Germany today Buckner was subsequently ruled OUT and left out of the traveling squad. With Buckner out, he leaves behind a huge void to fill. Expect Adetomiwa Adebawore to have an increased role in pass rushing situations and also Neville Gallimore in run-stopping too.
Defensive end Samson Ebukam continues to miss practice with an ongoing knee injury. Expect him to be ruled out of another game this week. Defensive end Tyquan Lewis also missed another practice today with a groin injury and looks to be joining Ebukam in missing another game too. The Colts defensive line is looking very thin as injury begin to pile up.
Guard Matt Goncalves (personal), cornerback Kenny Moore (Achilles) and wide receiver Michael Pittman (glute) were all full participants today after missing practice yesterday. All three look in line to be available Sunday in Germany.
New star cornerback Sauce Gardner was a full participant today at practice after being in the concussion protocol previously as a member of the New York Jets. It was announced today that he had passed through the protocol and is therefore in line to make his Colts debut this Sunday overseas against the Falcons. It would appear that he and Jaylon Jones will man the starting outside corner spots for Indianapolis.
