Colts WR Alec Pierce (ankle) to miss offseason program
Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (14) leaves the field Monday, Dec. 22, 2025, after losing a game against the San Francisco 49ers at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce will miss the offseason program after ankle surgery, general manager Chris Ballard confirmed Monday.
Pierce, 25, is on a three-month timetable for a full recovery, putting him on track to return in time for this summer's training camp.
Pierce signed a four-year, $114 million extension last month with $80 million guaranteed. He is coming off the best season of his career after catching 47 passes for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns in 2025.
Ballard revealed during his press conference that Pierce accomplished those numbers despite battling ankle pain throughout the season.
Over four seasons in Indianapolis, Pierce has 2,934 receiving yards and 17 touchdowns on 157 catches. With Michael Pittman Jr. traded to Pittsburgh in March, Pierce takes over as the No. 1 target for Daniel Jones, who is also recovering this offseason from a torn Achilles that prematurely ended his breakout first season with the Colts.
