Colts’ defensive tackle DeForest Buckner gennemgik i vinteren en operation for en diskusprolaps i nakken, som medførte en komprimeret nerve. Skaden kostede ham pladsen i syv af holdets sidste otte kampe i sidste sæson.
Den 32-årige veteran er nu i gang med rehabilitering og har for nylig genoptaget plyometriske øvelser for at teste sin mobilitet. I denne uge er han også begyndt at løbe igen. Under et interview tirsdag udtrykte Buckner optimisme omkring en mulig tilbagevenden inden træningslejren starter.
"Når sådanne ting sker, havner man let i mørke tanker om, hvad man skal gøre. Jeg har gennemgået alle følelserne og vil gøre alt, hvad der skal til for at være klar til uge 1,"
Buckner, der er tre gange Pro Bowl-spiller, er i det sidste år af sin kontrakt. Han modtager en grundløn på 13 millioner dollars og belaster lønloftet med 26,6 millioner dollars.
