Buckner was able to make his return to practice on Wednesday. He has been out for the majority of the season due to an ankle injury, but it looks like he's trending towards making a return in the near future. His return to the lineup will help to solidify Indianapolis' defensive line, which has struggled to start the season.

This will open up the 21-day practice window for Buckner, while it is still unclear whether or not he will play in Week 8. It will be a huge boost to the Indianapolis defensive front whenever they get their three-time Pro Bowler back in action.
