Colts Place Star Receiver Alec Pierce on Injured Reserve After Heel Aggravation

The Indianapolis Colts have placed wide receiver Alec Pierce on injured reserve after he re-aggravated a surgically repaired heel during their Week 2 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed the move on Wednesday, stating that Pierce will attempt to rehab the injury without further surgery, though no return timeline has been established. The decision follows Pierce’s limited performance in the season opener and his early exit against the Chiefs. In response to the loss of their top receiver, the Colts signed veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton from the New York Giants to bolster their receiving corps.

Keenan Allen's Colts Move Reshapes Indy’s Fantasy Outlook

The Colts signed veteran Keenan Allen, reuniting him with coach Shane Steichen and adding a high-target option for Indy, though his aging efficiency could cap big-yardage upside. Allen could start with a larger role if Alec Pierce misses Week 1, but is expected to slide into a more part-time role once Pierce returns, potentially limiting Downs’ and Pierce’s ceiling while Warren remains a key fantasy contributor in the short term.

Colts land veteran Keenan Allen on a one-year deal

The Colts signed wide receiver Keenan Allen to a one-year, $8.32 million contract to upgrade their receiving corps while Alec Pierce recovers from offseason ankle surgery. Allen, 34, isn’t a deep threat, so he should provide reliable underneath targets and immediate fantasy relevance, likely sharing looks with Josh Downs and Tyler Warren as Pierce heals; the move could help the offense, though overall efficiency may dip without a true deep threat.
