From the article

Pierce underwent ankle surgery in March, which was described as a 'cleanup procedure.' While the procedure itself was likely relatively straightforward, the recovery can still take time... Indianapolis still listed Pierce as a 'limited participant' (LP) throughout the week... I'd much prefer to bench Pierce if possible and see his role and performance first.

Pierce off injury report but limited all week; source recommends benching to assess role.

Pierce underwent ankle surgery in March (cleanup procedure) and logged his first practice on September 1st, indicating a lengthy recovery timeline. Despite being off the injury report, Indianapolis listed him as a limited participant throughout the week, suggesting the team hasn't fully cleared him for action. Given his recovery from summer rehabilitation and the need for a ramp-up period to game speed, the source recommends benching Pierce in Week 1 to see his role and performance first.
