Colts' Alec Pierce: Doesn't practice Thursday
Pierce (heel) didn't participate in practice Thursday.
Pierce was a full participant at Wednesday's practice but was unable to take the practice field Thursday. The banged-up wide receiver played through his heel injury in the Week 1 loss to Baltimore, during which he also sustained a wrist injury. The latter injury doesn't seem to be bothering him any longer, but Pierce will likely need to upgrade back to full participation Friday to avoid being listed on the injury report for Sunday night's game against the Chiefs.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Practices fully Wednesday
Pierce (hand/wrist) fully participated in Wednesday's practice, Kevin Bowen of 107.5 The Fan Indianapolis reports.
Pierce was listed on the injury report with the heel injury he dealt with previously and not the wrist issue he picked up in Week 1, but neither prevented him from getting in a full session Wednesday. As such, consider Pierce in the clear for his team's Week 2 matchup with the Chiefs.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Avoids serious wrist issue
Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Pierce is "good right now" after banging up his wrist in Sunday's 41-23 loss to the Ravens, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
After undergoing offseason ankle surgery and missing most of training camp, Pierce was expected to have his snaps limited to some degree in Week 1. He ended up finishing with four receptions for 61 yards on six targets while taking the field for 32 of the Colts' 54 snaps, but it's unclear what effect the wrist issue may have had on his workload. With X-rays on Pierce's left hand having already returned negative, Pierce is expected to be ready to play in the Colts' Week 2 contest in Kansas City, though he may not necessarily be a full participant in all of the team's practices leading up to game day.

Colts' Alec Pierce: X-rays negative on banged-up hand
Pierce went to the locker room during Sunday's 41-23 loss to the Ravens for X-rays on his left hand and wrist, which came back negative, Nathan Brown of the Indianapolis Star reports.
Pierce returned to the game after getting encouraging results on the injury he sustained by hitting his hand on the helmet of Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith. The banged-up wide receiver dealt with a heel injury heading into the game but managed to play through his injuries to post 61 yards in the season-opening loss. Pierce wore a soft brace on his left hand after the game, so his health will bear monitoring as the Colts prepare for a Week 2 trip to Kansas City.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Paces pass catchers in loss
Pierce brought in four of six targets for 61 yards in the Colts' 41-23 loss to the Ravens on Sunday.
Pierce was slated to handle an abbreviated workload in Week 1 following his recovery from ankle and heel injuries, but the speedy veteran ended up setting the pace in receiving yards and tying for the team lead in targets for the Colts on the afternoon. Pierce also had the second-longest reception of the day for Indianapolis -- 23 yards -- and he looked generally prepared to take on the larger role expected in the wake of Michael Pittman's departure in free agency this past offseason. Pierce should be ready to take on even more snaps in a Week 2 road battle against the Chiefs next Sunday night.

Colts' Alec Pierce: May not handle normal workload
Pierce (heel) is expected to play a decent amount of snaps Sunday against the Ravens, though it isn't expected to be his usual full allotment, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN reports.
Despite being limited in all three Week 1 practices, Pierce wasn't given a designation for Sunday's contest, clearing him to return after first recovering from offseason ankle surgery and then tending to a heel injury this week. If he indeed can't handle his normal workload, he'd be a risky play, perhaps needing one of his noted splash plays to reap rewards in the season opener. Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and Ashton Dulin are the top healthy Colts wide receivers if Pierce cedes snaps to the rest of the position.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Will play Sunday
Pierce (heel) will not carry an injury designation into Sunday's season opener against the Ravens.
Pierce was a limited practice participant throughout the week, never quite upgrading to full, and per Stephen Holder of The Athletic, it's unclear if he will handle a full workload. However, the Colts have at least left no doubt that Pierce will play this Sunday. Any limitations could mean more work for Josh Downs, Keenan Allen and/or Ashton Dulin.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Remains limited Thursday
Pierce (heel) was a limited participant at Thursday's practice.
Pierce has kicked off Week 1 prep with a pair of limited practices, but he could still avoid an injury designation for Sunday's season opener against the Ravens by upgrading to full participation Friday. The Colts' leading receiver in 2025 is coming off an eventful offseason, during which Pierce underwent ankle surgery shortly after signing a four-year, $114 million contract in March. This current heel issue may be connected to that ankle procedure, which kept Pierce sidelined for all of training camp.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Limited in practice by heel injury
Pierce was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice due to a heel injury.
Pierce will have two more opportunities to upgrade to full practice participation heading into Sunday's season opener versus the Ravens. Per Mike Chappell of Fox 59 News Indianapolis, Pierce is expected to be ready to go for Sunday, though the wideout could be on something of a pitch count in the first few weeks of the season after kept him from practicing until late August. The 26-year-old served mainly as a deep-ball specialist over his first four seasons in the NFL but could become more of a higher-volume target earner in 2026 after re-signing with Indianapolis on a four-year, $114 million deal in March.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Expected to play Week 1
Coach Shane Steichen said Monday that Pierce (ankle) "should be good to go" for Sunday's game against the Ravens, Joel A. Erickson of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Pierce returned to a full practice last week and is nearing 100 percent following ankle surgery earlier in the offseason. While Pierce is expected to play against Baltimore, it's unclear if he'll play his normal allotment of snaps, according to Stephen Holder of ESPN.com. Pierce could be on some sort of snap count, and Ashton Dulin would be in line for additional reps on offense. Pierce is shaping up as a boom-or-bust fantasy bet for Week 1.

Colts' Alec Pierce: Practices fully Thursday
Coach Shane Steichen said Pierce (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice, Nathan Brown of The Indianapolis Star reports.
It marks Pierce's first full practice of the summer after he underwent offseason ankle surgery. GM Chris Ballard said Tuesday that the "hope" was Pierce would be ready for the team's Week 1 opener against the Ravens, and this return to full work would suggest the wideout is on the path to playing Sunday, Sept. 13. Pierce is expected to operate as Daniel Jones' clear top outside field-stretching weapon this season, while Josh Downs (calf), Keenan Allen and Tyler Warren (groin) mostly work in the short and intermediate areas.
