From the episode

I just don't like his ankle... he wasn't able to step through that, which is pretty important for route running. Everything makes me think he had surgery on his talus

STACKED’s take

Negative signalInjury

Pierce's foot injury and lack of mobility make him a major fade at his current ADP

Jeff Mueller expresses significant concern regarding Alec Pierce's ankle/foot injury, specifically noting a lack of dorsiflexion and an inability to step through the ankle rocker, which suggests a potential surgery on the talus bone. Mueller believes Pierce is not moving like his normal self and will likely be injury-prone and unable to sprint or cut sharply, making his current ADP a fade.
