Colts share good news on WR Alec Pierce’s ankle injury
The Colts provided the latest update on receiver Alec Pierce recovery from offseason ankle surgery and it’s good news
Indianapolis, August 27, 2025 – The Indianapolis Colts are confident that wide receiver Alec Pierce will be ready to play in Sunday's season opener against the Baltimore Ravens, head coach Shane Steichen announced Monday. Pierce missed most of training camp due to recovery from offseason ankle surgery. Despite initial concerns, Pierce returned to full-team work with the Colts on August 27 and progressed through various drills, playing with the full offense within a week.
Steichen stated that Pierce is feeling great and is eager to contribute from day one. Pierce had initially tried a PRP injection to address a nagging ankle issue but underwent surgery at the end of March, knowing it would take four to six months for a full recovery. The Colts made sure to ensure Pierce's return at 100% before the start of the preseason.
Pierce's return is highly valued by the team, as he has emerged as one of the NFL's premier deep threats, challenging secondary defenses.
