Colts WR Alec Pierce continues recovery for potential 2026 season return

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce remains on a recovery plan for his reinjured left heel after being seen in a press box using a scooter and a heavy cast. Head coach Shane Steichen stated that Pierce will not undergo surgery and is focused on rehabilitation. Pierce, placed on injured reserve, is expected to miss at least three games, with hopes for a midseason return. While he contributed only 5 receptions for 72 yards in the first two games, his absence affects the team's offensive dynamics, prompting some adjustments as they adapt without his deep-threat capabilities.
