Colts Sign Veteran WR Darius Slayton with Alec Pierce Expected to Be Sidelined with Injured Heel
Indianapolis turns to Slayton after Alec Pierce’s heel injury leaves the Colts short at receiver, and the veteran is coming off 296 career catches.
- On Monday, the Indianapolis Colts signed free agent wide receiver Darius Slayton after Alec Pierce suffered a non-contact heel injury during Sunday's loss to the Kansas City Chiefs.
- The Colts rushed Pierce back from offseason heel surgery too soon, leading to the re-aggravation that forced the team to place him on injured reserve, according to reports.
- Slayton, a seven-year veteran, reunites with quarterback Daniel Jones after compiling 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns across 92 games together with the New York Giants.
- With Pierce expected to miss several weeks, Josh Downs will likely serve as the primary option, catching seven passes for 72 yards in Sunday's overtime loss to the Chiefs.
- Despite the addition, the 0-2 Colts face ongoing receiver depth challenges, as Ashton Dulin remains week-to-week and Keenan Allen has struggled to establish himself as a consistent target.
