Pierce Returns as Colts Rely on Him | Indianapolis Colts News

Colts’ star wideout Alec Pierce is on track to return from ankle surgery this week, potentially making his debut before the regular season starts. Signed to a massive 11-year, $116M deal, Pierce had a breakout rookie year with 47 catches, 1,000+ yards, and 6 TDs — all while adjusting to QB Daniel Jones. With Michael Pittman Jr. now in Pittsburgh, Pierce’s return could be pivotal for Indy’s offense. If he’s not ready for Week 1, Keenan Allen, Josh Downs, and others must step up big. The team’s final preseason game against the Lions is Aug. 29 — then it’s full speed ahead. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
