Officially questionable Buckner (ankle) is questionable for Saturday's wild-card matchup in Buffalo, Andrew Walker of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact Buckner hasn't yet missed a single game due to the ankle injury that's plagued him since mid-December, and he'll no doubt do everything in his power to suit up for Indianapolis' first playoff tilt. The starting defensive tackle began the week with back-to-back missed practices but managed to log a limited session Thursday.

Misses practice to start week Buckner (ankle) did not practice Wednesday.
Impact Buckner has played through his lingering ankle injury in back-to-back games, so as long as he's able to resume practicing Thursday or Friday he should have a good shot to suit up Week 17. Through 14 games this season, Bucker has already notched 7.5 sacks.

Ready for Sunday Buckner (ankle) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Steelers.
Impact The 26-year-old missed the first practice of the week due to the ankle issue, but he showed enough as a limited participant Thursday and Friday to avoid the questionable tag. Buckner had three sacks despite playing only 51 percent of the defensive snaps last week against the Texans.

Misses practice with ankle injury Buckner (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday.
Impact Buckner's the reigning AFC defensive player of the week for his three-sack effort against Houston, but he may have picked up an ankle injury at some point during that dominant performance. It's also possible he's getting more of a load management day after a busy Sunday, so Buckner's participation, or lack thereof, in practice Thursday and Friday should help paint a clearer picture regarding his availability for Sunday's matchup with the reeling Steelers.

Explodes for three sacks vs. Texans Buckner had four tackles (three solo), three sacks and one forced fumble during Sunday's 27-20 win over the Colts.
Impact Buckner set a new single-game career high with three sacks, one of which created a key takeaway from DeShaun Watson in the first quarter of Sunday's divisional win. The 26-year-old earned AFC Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance, small recompense to make up for being a Pro Bowl snub. Through 13 games in his first season with the Colts, Buckner has 52 tackles (33 solo), 7.5 sacks, one defended pass and a pair of forced fumbles.
