Analysts question if Colts wide receivers have enough for 2026 season
Summary

CBS Sports identified the Indianapolis Colts wide receiver group as a potential weakness for the 2026 season. The outlet questioned whether quarterback Daniel Jones has a sufficient corps of targets to reach team goals. Concerns center on Alec Pierce, who returned to practice August 27 after spending the preseason on the active/PUP list while recovering from ankle surgery. Keenan Allen also joins the team as he enters his age-34 season. Indianapolis additionally relies on Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin, Laquin Treadwell, and Deion Burks to fill out the roster. If Pierce maintains his health and Allen provides consistent play, the Colts aim to re-enter the postseason mix.
