Colts Get Good News on $114 Million Man Alec Pierce
Will Alec Pierce be ready for Week 1? The Colts just dropped a big hint about their $114 million receiver's return.
Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Alec Pierce, who had been out of action due to an ankle injury, is set to return to the team this week. The 6-foot-3 receiver, acquired by the Colts in a four-year, $114 million deal in March, missed all offseason activities, including OTAs, minicamp, and the start of training camp after being placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list.
Following successful surgery in March, the Colts have been cautiously optimistic about his recovery. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed that while Pierce will not be at practice on Tuesday, the team remains hopeful that he will be ready to play for Week 1. Pierce's breakout 2025 season, where he set career highs in receptions, yards, and touchdowns, has solidified his status as the Colts' primary weapon, earning him the team's WR1 tag.
The injury may now be behind him, allowing him to take center stage alongside Josh Downs and rookie Keenan Allen in the receiving corps as the Colts gear up for their opening game against the Ravens on September 13.
