From the episode

even if he comes back in the next week, you usually would need a three to four week ramp up in really participating in practice. So I would have some real hesitation about banking on Alec Pierce.

STACKED’s take

Pierce's lingering ankle injury makes him a risky early-season bet.

Alec Pierce is dealing with a lingering left ankle injury that has kept him out of practice. Even if he returns soon, he will likely require a 3-4 week ramp-up period, making him a risky bet for early-season production.
