Per Steichen, Colts set to make roster maneuver regarding injured WR Alec Pierce
The latest injury update on Colts wideout Alec Pierce stings, but isn’t unexpected.
The Indianapolis Colts are set to place injured wide receiver Alec Pierce on injured reserve, according to their head coach Shane Steichen. This move will result in Pierce missing at least the next four games of the season. Pierce's injury is a heel issue, which has already forced him to miss an entire training camp and the preseason.
He had only managed to attend five days of practice with the Colts before playing in last Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. His absence is significant, as he was the team's primary deep threat and one of their top receiving options. The Colts have since signed veteran wideout Darius Slayton, who has experience playing under the team's starting quarterback, Daniel Jones, as a potential interim solution to help cover for Pierce during his extended absence.
