Pierce heading to IR with heel injury; midseason return possible if rehab succeeds.

Pierce aggravated a heel injury that was surgically repaired earlier in 2026 and is expected to head to injured reserve for several weeks. He will attempt rehab rather than immediate surgery, with a possibility of returning around midseason if recovery goes well; however, another procedure remains possible if rehab does not produce desired results. This marks a frustrating development after he underwent surgery in March following ankle and heel soreness in 2025, spent most of training camp on the PUP list, and was activated shortly before Week 1.
