## Resource

Colts’ wide receiver depth is in crisis as top target Alec Pierce remains sidelined for months, leaving a glaring void at training camp. The young trio of Josh Downs, Ashton Dulin, and Laquon Treadwell struggled against the defense, while veteran Nick Westbrook-Ikine’s role remains uncertain. GM Chris Ballard is turning to the tight end corps—Tyler Warren and Will Mallory—to fill the gap, even experimenting with defensive back Ben Nikkel at receiver. With free agency in focus, names like Deebo Samuel, Stefon Diggs, and especially Keenan Allen (who knows Steichen’s system) are being eyed as potential solutions to revive the passing game.
