Report: Alec Pierce had a second PRP injection to speed up healing in ankle
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce has not participated in practice in 2026 due to ongoing recovery from left ankle surgery performed in late March.
- Initially, Pierce tried to avoid surgery by using a platelet-rich plasma (PRP) injection after the 2025 season but eventually underwent a "clean-up" procedure with a 4-6 month recovery estimate.
- He received a second PRP injection recently to alleviate soreness and accelerate healing, though this was not prompted by any rehab setbacks.
- The Colts have not provided a timeline for Pierce’s return, and he remains on the active/physically unable to perform list.
