After collapsing to end the 2025 season, the Indianapolis Colts have high aspirations for a major rebound in 2026. Daniel Jones is healthy again, and everyone gets another year to work within head coach Shane Steichen's program. One of the more important players in a possible Colts rebound will be playmaker Alec Pierce.
However, at the time of this writing, Pierce remains on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list as he recovers from offseason ankle surgery. He has yet to practice with the team during training camp. But Tuesday finally provided a meaningful update about where Pierce stands and how the Colts want to progress before a Week 1 home matchup against the Baltimore Ravens.
When discussing Pierce's current status, Steichen sounded optimistic about the receiver returning to practice soon, even as soon as this week. With still a few weeks before the start of the regular season, that's a great sign for where Pierce stands if he can start practicing in short order:
#colts HC Shane Steichen says WR Alec Pierce (ankle/heel) will not practice TODAY, but he hopes he can practice this week. Says he's in "a really good spot."
CB Charvarius Ward Sr. (back) will practice today. Hasn't practiced since Aug. 9.
Pierce is coming off the first 1,000-yard season of his career. He's also still just 26 years old and is ostensibly only hitting his physical prime. Here's hoping, for his and the Colts' sake, that he finds his way back to the field very soon.
