## Resource

Alec Pierce is expected to play in the Colts’ Week One opener against the Ravens, but his role remains uncertain as he returns from offseason ankle surgery. While he’s been practicing, his limited reps this week signal caution. Coach Shane Steichen won’t commit to a snap count, saying they’ll “play it by ear.” Pierce’s value lies in his ability to stretch the field and draw defensive attention, even if his target volume is limited. Fans should watch closely as his involvement unfolds during the game. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
