Alec Pierce, the Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver, recently underwent ankle surgery and will miss the upcoming offseason activities. General manager Chris Ballard stated that the team anticipates Pierce's return for training camp in July. The 25-year-old signed a lucrative four-year contract worth $116 million, making him one of the highest-paid receivers in the NFL. Last season, Pierce achieved 1,003 yards on 47 receptions, becoming the first NFL receiver since 2010 to surpass 1,000 yards on 47 or fewer catches. His impressive average of 22.3 yards per catch led the league during the 2024-25 season. Despite managing an ongoing ankle issue throughout the previous season, Pierce opted for surgery after consulting multiple doctors, aiming for a permanent solution to his pain. He has only missed four games in his four seasons in the NFL and is expected to step up as the Colts' No. 1 receiver following the trade of Michael Pittman Jr. to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
