Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce wasn’t on the field when the media arrived for their final look at OTAs due to a foot injury, and the team may be holding him out as a precaution.
The second-year wide receiver was absent from practice last week when the media was there, but head coach Shane Steichen downplayed the injury when speaking with reporters.
“He’s got a little foot. It’s nothing serious. He could’ve practiced today. We were just resting him,” said Steichen on Wednesday.
The Colts have been dealing with a myriad of injuries throughout OTAs. Between players working through offseason surgeries and getting injured during practice, it’s difficult to truly get a gauge on what the starting lineups look like.
Pierce is looking to build off a solid, yet inconsistent, rookie campaign. He recorded 41 receptions for 593 yards, averaging an impressive 14.5 yards per catch. However, he went through the entire month of November (four games) with just four receptions for 51 yards.
The second-year wideout dealt with some hardships at the quarterback position in 2022 and now will be a part of the development of No. 4 overall pick Anthony Richardson.
We’ll see how serious this foot injury is when minicamp arrives June 13-15 to end the offseason workout schedule.
