Hauls in long TD in OT win Pierce caught both his targets for 57 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-23 overtime win over the Jaguars.
Impact The third-year wideout made an immediate impact when he connected with Joe Flacco for a 40-yard score on the Colts' first possession, but Pierce took a back seat to Josh Downs and Michael Pittman after that. Pierce put together a career-best campaign in 2024, posting a 37-824-7 line on 69 targets with a 22.3 yards per reception mark that led the NFL among players with at least 20 catches. While he's unlikely to ever see consistently high volume, Pierce proved he can be a dangerous deep threat regardless of who the Colts have under center, and a similar role in 2025 could lead to even better production if Anthony Richardson (back) takes a step forward in his development.

Tops 100 yards in loss Pierce caught six of nine targets for 122 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 45-33 loss to the Giants.
Impact The six grabs were a season high for Pierce, and it was the wideout's best performance since he posted a 3-134-1 line in Week 5 against the Jaguars -- a game which also featured Joe Flacco at QB for the Colts. Sunday's loss eliminated Indy from playoff contention, so even if Anthony Richardson (back/foot) is healthier, he could sit out Week 18 in favor of Flacco, which would make Pierce an appealing fantasy option in a rematch with Jacksonville.

All clear for Week 17 Pierce (concussion) doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Giants.
Impact After missing Week 16, Pierce logged a trio of full practices this week and is ready to return from his one-game absence. Pierce is a low-percentage shot-play specialist who leads the NFL in yards per catch (22.5) but has just 29 catches on the season, turning them into 645 yards and five touchdowns. Pierce averages just 2.1 catches per contest.

Practices fully Thursday Pierce (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.
Impact Pierce, who was inactive for Week 16 action, was estimated as a full participant Wednesday, so his continued full listing a day later bodes well for his chances of returning to the lineup Sunday against the Giants. Friday's injury report will confirm whether Pierce carries a Week 17 designation or is cleared to face New York, by way of having cleared the NFL's concussion protocol.

Estimated as full practice participant Pierce (concussion) was listed as a full participant on Wednesday's practice estimate.
Impact Pierce was inactive this past Sunday against the Titans, but his 'full' listing on Wednesday's practice estimate is a sign that he's progressing toward a possible return to action this weekend against the Giants. The wideout will now have two more days to maintain that level of activity, as well as gain clearance to suit up versus New York.

Won't play Sunday Head coach Shane Steichen noted Friday that Pierce (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Titans, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.
Impact Pierce, who sustained a concussion during Week 15 action, didn't practice on Wednesday or Thursday but participated in Friday's session, wearing a non-contact jersey. However, with the wideout having been ruled out and targeting a potential return to action Dec. 29 against the Giants, Adonai Mitchell figures to see added opportunities this weekend alongside fellow WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Working off to side Pierce (concussion) is handling cone drills to the side at Thursday's practice, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Pierce is officially being listed as a non-participant at practice for the second day in a row, but it appears he's making some amount of progress through the NFL's concussion protocol. The No. 3 wideout will need to gain full clearance, though, in order to be eligible to suit up for Sunday's game against the Titans. Adonai Mitchell will be in position to handle added opportunities behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs if Pierce can't go.

Impact Pierce, who sustained a concussion during Sunday's loss to the Broncos, will have two more chances to practice this week before the Colts face off against the Titans. If Pierce is unable to play this weekend, Adonai Mitchell would be in line to see added opportunities alongside fellow wide receivers Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.

Colts' WR Alec Pierce in concussion protocol after exiting Week 15 game Colts’ WR Alec Pierce has entered concussion protocol after exiting Sunday’s Week 15 game against Denver.
DECEMBER 16, 2024 • USATODAY.COM
Concussion confirmed Pierce has been ruled out of Sunday's game at Denver due to a concussion, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
Impact Pierce was targeted on a deep ball by QB Anthony Richardson late in the first half, hitting the ground hard while attempting to haul in the pass and going directly to the locker room afterward. With a concussion confirmed for Pierce, he'll finish Week 16 with no catches on his four targets. Ashton Dulin (ankle) is inactive Sunday, so Adonai Mitchell and Anthony Gould are the tertiary WR options for the Colts offense behind Michael Pittman and Josh Downs.
