## Resource

Alec Pierce is back on the field — but not fully yet. After missing training camp and preseason due to offseason ankle surgery, the Colts’ star receiver is set to debut in Week 1, though his playing time will be limited as the team carefully eases him back. Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed his return, but with Keenan Allen and Josh Downs ready to shoulder more snaps, Pierce’s role will be measured. The goal? Keep him healthy for the long haul. With Richardson now healthy and Pierce primed for another big season, expect a cautious start — maybe even Week 2 for full throttle.
