Colts GM Chris Ballard addressed the condition of wide receiver Alec Pierce, who is currently on the physically unable to perform list following ankle surgery in late March. Ballard emphasized the day-to-day nature of Pierce's recovery, indicating he is still a week or two away from being active. Last season, Pierce led the Colts in receiving yards, but faced persistent pain, leading to the surgical decision. Ballard also provided updates on second-round draft pick C.J. Allen's calf strain, which is not expected to sideline him for long. Additionally, the health of quarterback Daniel Jones and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner will be monitored as training camp progresses.
