Buckner (foot) was a full practice participant Thursday.
Buckner was listed as a DNP on Wednesday due to a foot issue, but he was able to return to Thursday's practice without any restrictions and should be good to go against the Jets on Sunday. In his last three outings since returning from injured reserve, Buckner has logged 17 tackles (nine solo), including 2.0 sacks.

Buckner played a season-high 57 defensive snaps and recorded eight total tackles in Sunday's loss to the Bills, but he may have hurt his foot in the process.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Puts up another sack
Buckner recorded six tackles (four solo) and a sack in Sunday's 21-13 loss to the Vikings.
Buckner has notched a sack in each game since returning from a five-game stint on injured reserve due to an ankle injury. Considering he hasn't lost a step and is still handling a significant snap share -- 60 and 76 percent the last two weeks, respectively -- Buckner should be considered a solid DL start moving forward.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Ready to rock
The Colts activated Buckner (ankle) from injured reserve Saturday, in advance of Sunday's divisional matchup at Houston.
Buckner has missed five games since being placed on IR due to a high-ankle sprain sustained Week 2, and he's now all clear for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Doesn't practice Friday
Buckner (ankle) was listed as a DNP on Friday's injury report and is questionable for Sunday's game against Houston.
Buckner's 21-day practice window to return from injured reserve opened Wednesday, and he looked to be trending in the right direction after logging a full practice Thursday. However, he wasn't on the field for Friday's session, and it's uncertain whether it was a planned rest day or a setback. Unless announced sooner, Buckner's status for Sunday's game will be known once the Colts release their inactive list about 90 minutes before Sunday's 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Returns to practice field
Bucker (ankle) was a limited participant during practice Wednesday.
Buckner was designated to return from injured reserve earlier Wednesday, opening up his 21-day practice window. Whether he'll be able to suit up Sunday against the Texans remains in question and probably won't be known until closer to kickoff. It is likely, though, that the Colts will want the Oregon product to log a full practice before sending him out on the field for game day.

Colts' DeForest Buckner: Could return to practice next week
Head coach Shane Steichen told reporters Friday that he's optimistic Buckner's (ankle) 21-day practice window will open next week, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Buckner has missed the Colts' last four games on injured reserve after sustaining an ankle injury in Indianapolis' Week 2 loss to the Packers. However, Steichen's comments Friday suggest Buckner is nearing a return to the field. If the 30-year-old defensive lineman is able to begin practicing next week, the Colts will have 21 days to activate him to their active roster before he reverts to IR.
