Colts' Alec Pierce Signs Extension, Faces Recovery Ahead of 2026 Season
Wide receiver Alec Pierce recently signed a four-year contract extension with the Colts, but he will not be participating in the team's offseason program. General Manager Chris Ballard revealed that Pierce underwent ankle surgery after experiencing pain during the 2025 season. He is expected to recover in three months, with plans to return to the field for training camp in the summer. Despite the injury, the Colts are confident that it will not have a lasting impact on Pierce's performance.
In addition to Pierce, quarterback Daniel Jones and defensive tackle DeForest Buckner are also working towards full recovery for the upcoming 2026 season. The Colts are optimistic about having all three players back in action for Week 1 of the fall season. The team is focused on getting their key players healthy and ready to make an impact on the field.
