Colts' Alec Pierce set to miss weeks with heel injury; Slayton to add WR depth

Indianapolis is expected to be without Pierce for several weeks as he attempts to avoid surgery, with Darius Slayton joining to bolster the receiver room.

· 1 min read · language: en

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is expected to miss several weeks of the season due to a heel injury, according to sources.

Pierce will attempt to avoid surgery on the injury in hopes of returning to the field at some point during the middle of the season, sources said. The exact timeline for a potential return was not disclosed.

To help offset the loss of Pierce, the Colts are expected to add wide receiver Darius Slayton to provide additional depth at the position, according to the same sources.

Pierce has been a contributor to Indianapolis' receiving corps, and his absence is expected to affect the team's depth chart at wide receiver while he recovers. The addition of Slayton is intended to help mitigate that impact as the Colts continue their season.

Further updates on Pierce's recovery timeline and Slayton's role with the team are expected as the situation develops.
