Fantasy Impact: This is a big step in the right direction for Buckner, who was only cleared to practice just days ago after undergoing surgery in the offseason. The expectation was for the Colts to take it easy on him, and they still may, but it certainly appears Buckner is getting back in rhythm.

Fantasy Impact: The Colts will begin their training camp on Tuesday, and Jones will be on the field participating in 11-on-11 play on day one. The quarterback suffered a torn Achilles last December and now looks to be on track to be ready to go for Week 1 of this upcoming season, barring any setbacks. Jones is still someone to monitor as the calendar turns to August.

Will Mallory has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Fantasy Impact: Gardner re-aggravated a previous calf injury last week. He struggled with injuries after he was traded to the Colts at the deadline.

Colts coach Shane Steichen said he expects LT Bernhard Raimann to “give it a go” in Indianapolis’ Week 17 game against the Jaguars. (Source: Stephen Holder on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: It is a tough matchup against the Jaguars pass rush for the Colts offensive line. It is unclear how healthy Raimann truly is, but the Colts hope he'll still give them an upgrade.

Josh Downs logged a full practice on Friday. (Source: Indianapolis Colts on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Downs had missed practice on Thursday due to personal reasons. He should be good to go for Monday's game against the 49ers as a WR3/WR4 for fantasy managers.

Anthony Gould (foot) was a non-participant at practice on Thursday. (Source: Indianapolis Colts on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Gould has been battling this foot injury for a while and was sidelined for another practice on Thursday as a result. He isn't likely to play in Week 16, although his potential absence wouldn't have much of an impact for fantasy purposes.

Colts coach Steichen said that QB Riley Leonard is clear from his knee injury. (Source: Jake Arthur on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: "He's cleared, he's good, he's rolling," Steichen said. It is expected to be Philip Rivers starting in Week 16. Anthony Richardson (eye) was also designated to return to practice.

Braden Smith (concussion/neck) was sidelined at practice again on Thursday. (Source: Indianapolis Colts on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Smith was sidelined for another practice on Thursday as he continues to recover from a concussion and from a neck issue. It looks likely that he will be sidelined in Week 16, which is less than ideal for Indianapolis' offense as a whole in a matchup against the Seahawks.

Charvarius Ward (concussion) has been placed on IR. (Source: Tom Pelissero on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Ward was knocked out of Sunday's loss to the Jaguars with concussion symptoms. The veteran DB has now been placed on IR. This the third concussion of the year for Ward, who was reportedly contemplating retirement earlier this season.

Kenny Moore II (illness/ankle) practiced in a full capacity on Thursday. (Source: Indianapolis Colts on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Moore was back at practice on Thursday after being sidelined on Wednesday. He was able to participate fully, which indicates that he should be a full go for Sunday's game against the Jaguars. He will likely need to step up with Sauce Gardner (calf) not expected to suit up for the Colts.

Tyquan Lewis returned to practice on Thursday. (Source: Jake Arthur on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Lewis had missed practice to open the week on Wednesday. He should be good to go for Week 14 against the Jaguars.

Tyler Warren (illness) is active for Week 13 for the Indianapolis Colts against the Houston Texans. (Source: Ian Rapoport on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Warren is good to go after being a late addition to the injury report due to the illness, boosting an Indianapolis offense that will face a tough Texans defense Sunday. Fantasy managers should expect the rookie tight end to see plenty of targets in the divisional contest.

The Colts placed Ashton Dulin on injured reserve. (Source: Mike Chappell on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Dulin was expected to miss an extended period of time after suffering a hamstring injury. He will miss at least the next four games.

Michael Pittman Jr. is off the injury report for Sunday's game against the Falcons. (Source: Indianapolis Colts on Twitter)

Fantasy Impact: Pittman was upgraded to a full practice on Thursday. He should remain a strong WR2 play for fantasy managers this weekend.
