Alec Pierce

Finally some good news on Alec:

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (ankle) is expected to return to practice this week.​

Pierce, who’s been sidelined since undergoing ankle surgery in the spring following the signing of his contract extension with the Colts, will practice this week barring any setbacks, Steichen said. It’s good news for Pierce’s Week 1 availability after the team’s de facto WR1 missed training camp while recovering from the ankle issue. Pierce is expected to see more intermediate targets this season after operating strictly as a field stretcher over the past few seasons. Piece in 2025 led the league in air yards per game; his 44 percent air yards share ranked fourth among receivers. Pierce profiles as a somewhat sneaky fantasy selection after his ADP has steadily sunk over the past month.
 
Tom Iron Rule Strikes again!

Colts should bring in McCaffrey!
 
This sounds like deja vu ala the Ricky Pearsall scenario of an injury being mismanaged and made worse. Hopefully Alec isn't done for the season but it won't be surprising if he is.

Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (heel) aggravated the injury that required surgery in March and the Colts are “still gathering information.”​

X-rays came back negative last night but Pierce couldn’t put weight on it last night and left on crutches with a boot on. The fact that it was an aggravation is not promising. It sounds like Pierce could be looking at an extended absence. If true, Josh Downs will get some WR3 hype ahead of Week 3’s date against the Texans. If you were wondering why Laquon Treadwell was on the field deep in the game on Sunday night, Pierce’s injury is the reason.
