"Buckner was placed on injured reserve last month and was uncertain of how long recovery might take. But he traveled to Panama for the second time to undergo stem cell treatment in recent weeks and said the outcome was positive. Buckner also went to the same clinic for treatment on a severe high ankle sprain last season and insisted the process helped speed his recovery."
"Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, whose absence has been felt during the five games he missed with a neck injury, will return for the game, coach Shane Steichen said. 'Meanwhile, cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) will miss his third consecutive game, leaving the Colts in a precarious place at cornerback with fellow starter Charvarius Ward on injured reserve because of multiple concussions."
The Indianapolis Colts received mixed injury news ahead of their Monday Night Football game against the San Francisco 49ers. Defensive tackle DeForest Buckner, who missed five games with a neck injury and was placed on injured reserve, will return. Buckner traveled to Panama twice for stem cell treatment and reported a positive outcome that he said hastened recovery. Cornerback Sauce Gardner (calf) will miss his third consecutive game and has not returned to practice. Starter Charvarius Ward remains on injured reserve with multiple concussions, leaving cornerback depth thin as the Colts pursue an AFC playoff position.
