Alec Pierce of the Indianapolis Colts sustained a heel injury during the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Kansas City Chiefs and has been officially ruled out for the remainder of the contest. The injury occurred while he was running a route, causing him to lose his footing and fall. He was unable to put weight on his left leg and was later carted off for further evaluation. This injury is particularly concerning given Pierce's recent surgery on his left ankle, which limited his participation in offseason activities. In his absence, teammates like Josh Downs and Keenan Allen may see increased roles in the Colts' offense.
