The Indianapolis Colts announced that receiver Alec Pierce has been placed on injured reserve on Saturday, following a heel injury that has sidelined him for the season.
The move officially removes Pierce from the active roster and begins the clock for his potential return, as the team says he will focus on rehabilitation before rejoining the lineup.
Pierce, who has been a reliable target for the Colts, will now work with the team's medical staff to recover from the heel issue that has kept him out of games.
Being placed on injured reserve means Pierce will be ineligible to play for a minimum of three weeks, after which he may be activated if his recovery progresses as expected.
Colts head coach and front‑office officials have not yet provided a specific timeline for Pierce’s return, but the team remains optimistic about his eventual comeback.
