Backstory

Older reporting, kept for context. Not current.

Where he fits

DeForest Buckner plays for the IND as a DL, wearing number 99. He's in year 11 of his career.

His job: The team's own depth chart lists him first at right defensive tackle — that's the order they'd normally use.

Last time out: He was active but didn't record any counting stats. He was only on the field for about 0% of the offensive plays, so he is a situational piece right now.

He isn't on the official week 8 injury report — no designation was filed for him.

Official league data, week 8 of the 2026 season.

How his team's doing: IND are 2-5 this season — meaning they've won 2 of the games they've played. They're number 3 in their division right now. Current run: L3.

From the shared sports feed, refreshed within the last few hours. Nothing on the injury report for him — or we can't verify it right now, in which case we leave it out.
