Wide receiver Alec Pierce has officially been placed on injured reserve by the Indianapolis Colts after suffering a heel issue, the team confirmed on Saturday.
The move starts the clock on Pierce's potential path back to the active roster as he now works through rehabilitation from the injury.
Impact on the roster
Placement on injured reserve typically requires a player to sit out a minimum number of games before becoming eligible to return, meaning the Colts will need to manage their receiving corps in Pierce's absence during that stretch.
Pierce has been a contributor in the Colts' passing game, and his stint on injured reserve represents a setback for a player looking to build on his role within the offense this season.
The team has not detailed a specific expected return timeline beyond confirming the injured reserve designation, with the rehabilitation process now underway as Pierce aims to rejoin the lineup once healthy.
Indianapolis will continue to assess its receiver depth chart in the interim, as the team looks to maintain its offensive production while Pierce works his way back from the heel issue that forced this roster move.
