Pierce on injured reserve until late October; removal of deep threat limits Colts vertical passing.

The Colts paid big money to sign the deep threat receiver this offseason, a move that led them to trade Michael Pittman Jr. to Pittsburgh. However, Pierce has already been placed on injured reserve and will be out until at least late October. His absence removes a key vertical threat from the Colts passing game and forces the offense to rely on shorter-range receivers, contributing to Daniel Jones' league-low average depth of target.
