  "account": "Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce suffered a leg injury during Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs and had to be carried to the sideline medical tent. After appearing injured on a route, Pierce was unable to put weight on his left leg and was assisted by two trainers to a medical cart. He later left the field sitting on the cart, appearing in poor condition to return to the game. The Colts subsequently announced that Pierce had sustained a heel injury and is listed as questionable to return for the next match. Pierce, the team's top receiver, has led the NFL in yards per reception for the past two seasons and signed a lucrative four-year, $114 million contract with the Colts in the offseason. This report will be updated further.",
  "summary": "Pierce is the Colts’ No. 1 receiver and has led the NFL in yards per reception in each of the last two seasons. He signed a four-year, $114 million contract in the offseason to remain with the Colts.",
