Alec Pierce

Steichen said that Pierce, who has been on IR since Sept. 26, is currently rehabbing his injury, but the wideout's return is clearly not imminent. At 2-6, the Colts, who are already sellers ahead of the NFL trade deadline, have little incentive to rush Pierce back. Meanwhile, fellow WR Josh Downs has asked to be dealt, a situation that further clouds the team's pass-catching corps ahead of Week 9.

Target return: 2026-11-29
