• Colts' Alec Pierce: Not ready for practice

  9D ago • By RotoWire

  Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Pierce (heel) will "most likely not" have his 21-day practice window opened in Week 8, Jake Arthur of Roundtable.io reports. A couple weeks ago, Pierce shed the cast that he had been wearing to protect his surgically repaired left heel, but the wideout looks like he'll remain limited to rehab work for at least another week before potentially making his return to practice. In Pierce's continued absence, the Colts will lean on Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and Laquon Treadwell to serve as their primary receiver trio, though none of the three have been consistent fantasy producers while quarterback Daniel Jones (4:7 TD:INT, 5.8 yards per attempt) has struggled mightily through the first seven weeks of the season.

• Colts' Alec Pierce: Not ready to practice

  Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Pierce (heel) won't have his 21-day practice window opened in Week 7, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports. Pierce has now spent the requisite four games on injured reserve after re-injuring his surgically repaired left heel in the Colts' Week 2 loss to the Chiefs, but he'll need some more time to complete a rehab program before getting back on the practice field. Given the recurring nature of Pierce's injury in addition to the significant financial investment in him, the Colts are likely to take a deliberate approach in bringing the wideout back from IR.

• Colts' Alec Pierce: Progressing in recovery

  21D ago • By RotoWire

  Pierce was spotted without a cast on his left ankle/heel Wednesday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports. It's a sign that Pierce is progressing in his recovery from a left heel injury that he aggravated during the Colts' Week 2 overtime loss to the Chiefs. The earliest he is eligible to return from injured reserve is Week 7 against the Vikings, and while Pierce opted for rehab and surgery, Boyd believes that the fifth-year wide receiver is not close to a return. Josh Downs popped up on Wednesday's injury report with a hamstring injury, so Keenan Allen could be the Colts' top wide receiver for Sunday's AFC South showdown against the Titans.

• Colts' Alec Pierce: Officially goes on injured reserve

  09/26/2026 • By RotoWire

  Pierce (heel) was placed on injured reserve Saturday. A stint on IR requires a player to miss at least four games, but Pierce is expected to be sidelined for several weeks while rehabbing from a heel injury that he aggravated during the Colts' overtime loss to the Chiefs in Week 2. The good news for Pierce is that X-rays game back negative on the heel, but in his absence, the Colts will rely more heavily on Josh Downs, Keenan Allen, Darius Slayton and Tyler Warren in the passing game. In a corresponding move, Anthony Gould was signed from the Colts' practice squad to the active roster.

• Colts' Alec Pierce: Bound for IR

  09/23/2026 • By RotoWire

  Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Pierce (heel) will be placed on injured reserve and is without a timeline for a return, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, Pierce -- who had surgery on the same left heel and ankle in late March -- will avoid another procedure and will instead treat the injury with rest and rehab after he suffered an aggravation in this past Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs. Pierce's impending move to IR means that he'll be sidelined for at least the Colts' next four games, with his availability beyond that set to be determined by how he responds to rehab. Given the recurring nature of the injury, the Colts could have Pierce take a conservative approach with his recovery program, especially after the team signed him to a lavish four-year, $114 million contract in the offseason.
