Colts HC Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that WR Alec Pierce re-injured the heel he had offseason surgery on in Sunday night's loss to the Chiefs. Pierce left the stadium in a walking boot and on crutches. Steichen said Pierce is getting a second opinion on this latest injury, and ESPN's Jeremy Fowler reports that Pierce is considered "week to week." Don't be surprised if he lands on short-term IR.

Colts WR Alec Pierce left in the first quarter of Sunday night's game against the Chiefs with an injury to his left heel. The team has deemed him questionable to return.

Update: The team downgraded Pierce to out before the start of the second half.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (heel) was limited in practice all week but is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. Ravens. We’re not expecting Pierce to play a full slate of snaps after missing almost the entire offseason. He should be on fantasy benches this week.

For the first time since signing a four-year, $114 million contract, Alec Pierce was a full participant at practice per Colts beat reporter Nathan Brown. This is the best sign yet that Pierce will be a full-go for Opening Week against the Ravens after offseason ankle surgery.

Colts QB Daniel Jones was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a calf. "Sounds like the Colts are being cautious," NFL Network's Ian Rapoport tweeted. "Still worth keeping an eye on..." We'll certainly be keeping an eye on this one. With QB Anthony Richardson on IR, QB Riley Leonard is Indianapolis' backup. He'd be a huge downgrade for the offense.

Colts WR Josh Downs (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Downs, and we don't have any other details. We'll keep tabs on his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. Downs' absence would leave targets behind for WRs Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce and TE Tyler Warren.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll step back in as Indianapolis’ No. 2 WR against the Cardinals on Sunday. Pierce checks in 54th in the Week 6 WR rankings.

Colts WR Michael Pittman was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring. That likely means he hurt the hammy today -- and puts his status for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders in question. Indianapolis is getting WR Alec Pierce back from his concussion this week. Pittman would typically be replaced by WR Adonai Mitchell, but Mitchell gave up the ball at the goal line and committed a costly holding penalty last week. It's unclear if the Colts would go back to him in a full-time role. The other options would be WR Ashton Dulin -- or using WR Josh Downs in 2-WR sets. We'll update Pittman's status tomorrow.

Colts’ WR Josh Downs left Thursday’s practice early with an apparent hamstring injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Colts WR Alec Pierce suffered a groin injury in Sunday's practice. He briefly tried to play through it before heading inside with trainers, according to The Indy Star's Joel Erickson. That suggests it's not a significant injury, but we'll look for more details.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He should be back in a near full-time role but would be a flier in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) did not practice on Wednesday. We don't have any details on his foot injury. WR Josh Downs (shoulder) is not expected to play vs. the Patriots this weekend, while WR Ashton Dulin (ankle) also missed Wednesday's practice. That leaves Michael Pittman, Adonai Mitchell, and Anthony Gould as the three healthy WRs on Indianapolis' active roster.
