Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce may be sidelined well into training camp following off-season surgery on his left ankle, according to @HolderStephen of ESPN. The news comes as a significant update for the franchise as they prepare for their upcoming summer sessions.
The injury update follows a major milestone for Pierce, who recently signed a four-year, $114 million contract extension with the Colts. Despite the long-term security provided by the new deal, the off-season procedure on his left ankle has created a recovery timeline that could keep him off the field during the initial stages of the team's training camp preparations.
According to the report from @HolderStephen, the surgery was performed earlier this off-season to address the ankle issue. While the organization has not provided a definitive return date, the expectation is that Pierce will miss a significant portion of the early practice schedule. The health of the wideout remains a primary concern for the Colts following his massive contract extension.
