Colts WR Alec Pierce (Heel) Ruled Out After Early Exit vs. Chiefs

Pierce was sent for X-rays after leaving with no weight on his left leg, and the Colts ruled him out in the second quarter.

  • Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce was ruled out for the remainder of Sunday Night Football against the Kansas City Chiefs after sustaining a left heel injury in the first quarter.
  • Pierce underwent surgery on the same left heel during the offseason, which limited his preseason participation and delayed his readiness for the 2026 season opener.
  • NBC sideline reporter Melissa Stark reported Pierce underwent X-rays after spending time in the medical tent, then was carted to the locker room early in the second quarter.
  • Receiver depth remains a significant concern for the Colts, as Pierce led the NFL in yards per reception for two consecutive seasons before the injury.
  • Indianapolis will rely on veteran Keenan Allen and reliable receiver Josh Downs to maintain offensive production against the Chiefs for the remainder of the game.
