Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, DT DeForest Buckner to practice Wednesday


Indianapolis Colts star running back Jonathan Taylor and star defensive tackle DeForest Buckner will practice Wednesday, Colts coach Shane Steichen announced.

Taylor has not practiced or played since sustaining a right high ankle injury in Week 4 against Pittsburgh. The 2021 NFL rushing yards leader had been off to a strong start this year, totaling 72 carries for 349 yards (4.8 yards per carry) and four touchdowns through his first four games.

Buckner suffered a high right ankle sprain in Week 2 at Green Bay and was placed on injured reserve. He was eligible to return last week but the Colts decided to give the two-time All-Pro a little more time before officially opening his 21-day practice window Wednesday. Buckner, 30, has 1.5 sacks in two games this year.

The Colts are also opening the 21-day practice window for backup linebacker Cameron McGrone, who dislocated his right elbow during training camp and was placed on injured reserve before the season.

This will be updated.
