Colts Drop Alec Pierce Injury Update After Being Carted Off in Chiefs Loss
Alec Pierce was carted off in the Colts' loss to the Chiefs, and now there's an update on his reggravated heel injury.
Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce, a key offensive player, suffered a left heel injury during Sunday night's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Pierce was carted off early in the second quarter, reiterating the severity of his injury. Pierce had previously undergone surgery on the same injury during the offseason, which kept him out of most of training camp.
Despite the Colts' close game without Pierce, the loss to the Chiefs highlights the crucial role he plays for the team. NFL insider Ian Rapoport reported that Pierce is expected to attempt rehabilitation rather than undergoing surgery, meaning he could be out for several weeks. If there are no setbacks, Pierce might return midseason, but he could also be placed on injured reserve, and surgery is not completely ruled out.
Pierce signed a four-year, $114 million deal with the Colts over the offseason, and his absence is a significant blow as he was the team's leading receiver in 2022 with 47 catches for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns.
