Alec Pierce's Ankle Injury: Colts' Offseason Concern

0:00On April 20th, Alec Pierce had a breakout year in 2025 with the Colts, hauling in 47 catches on 84 targets for 1. Thousand three yards and six touchdowns. But now he's sidelineed, missing all organized team activities after an ankle cleanup procedure. Colts GM, Chris Ballard dropped the news at his pre-draft presser Monday, saying Pierce gutted it out through the injury all last season. OTA's kickoff, May 26th, so this throws a wrench in his offseason prep heading into what could be his best year yet. Fans and the team aren't thrilled, especially with quarterback Daniel Jones still rehabbing that torn Achilles. Another key absence could snowball into a rough training camp or even early 2026 struggles. On the upside, Ballard says Pierce should be 100% for camp later this summer. And Pierce showed up early, beating the official offseason start on April 21st, which looks like a solid commitment. The Colts are banking on that full recovery to keep their momentum rolling without missing a beat.
