Rapsheet: Alec Pierce will attempt to rehab injury
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Pierce suffered a leg injury during Week 1, leaving the game limping and unable to put weight on it; X-rays were negative but the injury is considered an aggravation, potentially leading to an extended absence.
- Due to Pierce's injury, Laquon Treadwell saw playing time late in the game, and Josh Downs could gain WR3 fantasy hype ahead of Week 3 against the Texans.
- Pierce had limited snaps (59%) in Week 1 post ankle/heel surgery and caught 4 passes for 61 yards; he is currently viewed as a boom-bust WR3/FLEX option for upcoming games.
- Despite a wrist X-ray after the Week 1 game, there are no major concerns reported about Pierce's wrist or heel injuries going forward.
- The Colts plan to increase Pierce's playing time in Week 2 against Kansas City, but his snap count remains uncertain as he continues to recover from offseason surgery.
