Alec PierceWR
Alec Pierce is recovering from ankle surgery that occurred in April, followed by a forced follow-up surgery pushing into August. This timeline creates significant uncertainty for his Week 1 availability and directly impacts target distribution across the Colts WR room. If Pierce is not fully healthy by Week 1, the Colts are likely to add an outside receiver (potentially Keenan Allen) to mitigate risk, which would dampen target projections for Josh Downs and Tyler Warren.
