    Colts' Alec Pierce: Not ready for practice

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Alec 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

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Alec 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

    Alec 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 Indianapolis 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: Avoids heel surgery, in rehab mode

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen reiterated Monday that Alec Pierce didn't undergo surgery on his left heel and is continuing to rehab the injury, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.Ian Rapoport of NFL Network had previously relayed last week that Pierce would avoid another procedure after aggravating his surgically repaired heel in a Sept. 20 loss to the Chiefs, but that report was called into question after the wideout was spotted Sunday moving around the Colts locker room with the aid of a scooter while he had a cast on his left foot. Apparently, Pierce is using the cast for extra protection and using the scooter to keep weight off the injured foot, which he hopes will accelerate the healing process. Pierce is without a timeline to return to game action, but he'll have to miss at least three more contests after landing on injured reserve over the weekend.

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Officially goes on injured reserve

    Alec 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 Indianapolis 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

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Wednesday that Alec 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.

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Bypassing surgery, out 'several' weeks

    Alec Pierce will try to rehab his injured left heel without surgery and is expected to miss several weeks before potentially returning around midseason if all goes well, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.Pierce had surgery on the same heel/ankle in late March and was a spectator for most of training camp and the preseason, though he was cleared to play Week 1 of the regular season. The wideout then aggravated the issue in the second quarter of Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to Kansas City. Though X-rays were returned negative, Pierce is dealing with enough of a setback that he'll have to miss extended time and could end up on injured reserve. Indianapolis signed veteran receiver Darius Slayton on Monday to help boost the team's wideout corps, per Tom Pelissero of Netflix.

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Aggravates surgically repaired heel

    Indianapolis Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Alec Pierce "aggravated something in the heel he had surgery on" during Sunday's 33-30 overtime loss to the Chiefs and is still being evaluated, Jake Arthur of Roundtable.io reports.Per James Boyd of The Athletic, Steichen was non-committal when asked if Pierce was a candidate for injured reserve, noting that the Colts are "still gathering information" on the matter. After re-signing with the Colts on a four-year, $114 million contract in March, Pierce underwent surgery on his left ankle a couple weeks later, resulting in him missing nearly all of training camp and the preseason. He took on a somewhat suppressed workload in the Colts' Week 1 loss to the Ravens and was expected to ramp up his snap count in Week 2, but he finished with an 11-yard reception on his lone target over 19 snaps before he exited Sunday's game early in the second quarter after aggravating the heel injury. According to Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com, Pierce is seeking a second medical opinion on his heel, and more clarity on a timeline for his return to the field could become available later in the week.

    Colts' Alec Pierce: X-rays negative on injured heel

    Alec Pierce is set for further tests on his left heel Monday, but X-rays returned negative after he exited Sunday's game against the Chiefs in the first half, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.Pierce caught his only target for 11 yards prior to exiting the game. He came up lame while running a route and was subsequently carted to the locker room. Pierce's left heel injury is perhaps connected to an offseason ankle surgery that prevented him from practicing prior to September. Further details on Pierce's injury will be provided prior to the Indianapolis Colts' Week 3 home game against the Texans.

    Colts' Alec Pierce: Won't return to SNF

    Alec Pierce (heel) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Chiefs, Stephen Holder of ESPN.com reports.Pierce was ruled out shortly after being carted to the locker room. He came up limping on a non-contact play in the first half and couldn't put weight on his left leg. This injury is likely tied to the procedure Pierce underwent on his left ankle during the offseason, which kept him sidelined for the preseason. Pierce's next chance to take the field will come next Sunday against the Texans.
