Colts head coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (heel) won’t practice this week. 2026-10-20 11:00:02 Pierce, dealing with a heel injury since mid-September, will continue rehabbing and remain on injured reserve ahead of the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings. Since Week 3, Keenan Allen leads the Colts with a 24 percent target share, while Josh Downs 17 percent of the team’s targets and 26 percent of the team’s air yards. Neither wideout is a great option in Week 7 against a marauding Minnesota defense. |

Colts coach Shane Steichen said Alec Pierce (heel) won’t practice this week. 2026-10-19 15:00:02 Tom Pelissero’s report over the weekend was that Pierce was still weeks from returning, and unfortunately this very much aligns with that. Pierce is now eligible to return off injured reserve, but until we see him designated to return and practicing, it’s hard to believe he’s close to returning. |

The Ringer’s Tom Pelissero reports Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel) is still a few weeks away from a return to game action. 2026-10-17 10:00:02 No surprise here. Pierce shed his cast earlier this week, but there was also a report from the Athletic’s James Boyd that he “didn’t get the sense” Pierce was close to a return. Pelissero reports that Pierce isn’t expected to return to practice next week when he’s eligible. It’s difficult to justify holding Pierce in leagues without IR spots given the circumstances. |

The Athletic’s James Boyd reports Alec Pierce (heel) is no longer wearing a cast but is not close to a return. 2026-10-14 22:00:01 Boyd said he “didn’t get the sense” that Pierce is close to a return. Pierce went on injured reserve with a heel injury after Week 2 and wore a cast on his left ankle/heel while rehabbing. It’s a sign of progress for Pierce, who will have his first chance to come back in the Colts’ Week 7 game against the Vikings. |
