Pierce has been sidelined for all of Colts camp to date while recovering from offseason ankle surgery. Coach Shane Steichen has yet to provide a timeline for the receiver, who signed a $114 million extension this offseason, to return, simply saying he only wants Pierce back 'whenever he's 100%'.

Pierce's ankle recovery timeline unclear; boom-or-bust WR2 with 21.3 yards per catch.

Pierce has been sidelined for all of Colts camp while recovering from offseason ankle surgery with no timeline provided by coach Shane Steichen, who only said he wants Pierce back 'whenever he's 100%.' Expected to be the Colts' No. 1 receiver in 2026 with deep-play capabilities—he led the NFL with 21.3 yards per reception in 2025—Pierce will be a boom-or-bust WR2 in fantasy formats. If he misses any time, Josh Downs would move to the top of Indy's wide receiver depth chart, though Downs is currently dealing with a minor groin issue of his own.
