Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) to miss offseason program
- On Monday, Indianapolis Colts general manager Chris Ballard confirmed that wide receiver Alec Pierce underwent ankle surgery. The procedure will sideline the 25-year-old for three months, forcing him to miss the start of the team's offseason workout program.
- Pierce labored through lingering ankle pain during his career-best 2025 season, initially planning to play through it again. After consulting with multiple doctors, the team and receiver decided a 'clean-up' procedure was prudent to ensure long-term health.
- Coming off a career-high 1,003 receiving yards and 47 catches in 2025, Pierce signed a four-year, $116 million extension in March. The deal includes $84 million guaranteed, cementing his status as a cornerstone of the Indianapolis offense.
- The three-month recovery timetable puts Pierce on track to return in time for this summer's training camp. Ballard said the Colts do not expect any 'long-term limitations' following the surgery, allowing Pierce to fully heal before the regular season.
- With former receiver Michael Pittman traded to Pittsburgh this offseason, Pierce is expected to take on an even larger role in the Indianapolis offense. The team is leaning heavily on him to maintain high production levels.
