Indianapolis Colts defensive lineman DeForest Buckner missed much of the back half of the 2025 season with a neck injury. While missing games was frustrating, he said some of the worst parts of his injury was the impact at home. A Tough End to 2025Buckner suffered a neck injury in the Week 9 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Nov. 2, and he underwent neck surgery the next month. While the Buckner family is surely happy to have their father and husband fully back, so too are the Colts happy to see their defensive stalwart return. In his 10 seasons, he's racked up 71.5 sacks, including 43 for the Colts alone.
