  Colts | Alec Pierce will not play in Week 16    Fri Dec 20, 01:13 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) did not practice all week and has been ruled out for Week 16 against the Tennessee Titans.

Footballguys view: As ESPN.com notes, the absence of Pierce will mean a more expanded role for rookie Adonai Mitchell, who has had a rocky first season, including last week's failed trick play that resulted in a fumble-return touchdown for Denver. Backup Ashton Dulin, who is coming off an ankle injury, also hopes to return and could play a role.

  Colts | Alec Pierce in concussion protocol    Mon Dec 16, 02:52 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol following the Week 15 loss against the Denver Broncos, head coach Shane Steichen said Monday, Dec. 16.

Footballguys view: Pierce's availability for the Colts' Week 16 game against Tennessee will be up in the air. He will have to clear protocol before being eligible to play. Pierce has emerged as one of the most productive downfield targets in football this season. His 26 targets of 20-plus yards lead the NFL, while his 428 yards on those passes are the third-most. Pierce has caught 29 passes for 645 yards at 22.2 yards per catch with five touchdowns. Pierce's 22.2 yards per reception is also the second-best mark in football. As USA Today's Colts Wire notes, Ashton Dulin has been on the injury report the last few weeks, dealing with an ankle injury that kept him out of the Week 13 and 15 games. A more significant role for Adonai Mitchell may be in store this week depending on Pierce's availability.

  Colts | Alec Pierce suffers concussion in Week 15    Sun Dec 15, 07:27 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) left the Week 15 game against the Denver Broncos after suffering a concussion.

Footballguys view: Pierce was evaluated for a concussion after his head collided hard with the turf on a jump ball in the end zone at the end of Sunday's first half against the Broncos. Trainers evaluated him on the field and took the fourth-year receiver to the locker room immediately. Pierce has suffered at least one concussion, an injury suffered in the first game of his career against Houston. If Pierce can't clear the protocol ahead of the team's Week 16 game against Titans, the Colts will have to turn to rookie WR Adonai Mitchell, who has been most comfortable when he's asked to play Pierce's position this season. We'll follow up as needed.

  Colts | Mo Alie-Cox expected to be available    Sat Dec 14, 01:51 PM

Indianapolis Colts TE Mo Alie-Cox (hip) is expected to be available for the Week 15 game even though he is listed as questionable, according to head coach Shane Steichen.

Footballguys view: The Colts are on the road against the Broncos in Week 15. Alie-Cox could get some plays here and there against a defense that regularly is weak against the tight end. If QB Anthony Richardson has time (a big if against a Broncos defense that gets pressure often), the tight ends could get some work (Kylen Granson if Alie-Cox can't play). However, Fantasy GMs have better options on Sunday.

Footballguys view: Coming out of their bye, Downs should be back out there for the Colts on Sunday as they travel to Denver to take on the Broncos. His big-play ability against a Broncos secondary missing Riley Moss could equal nice things for Fantasy GMs who look to Downs as a deep flex option in Week 15.

Footballguys view: Downs has been dealing with this shoulder injury for a couple of weeks. Coming out of the bye, Downs looks like he'll be back out there for the Colts as they travel to face the Broncos in Week 15. If Downs draws CB Pat Surtain regularly then he could be shut down by one of the best defenders in the league.

  Colts | Josh Downs return still cloudy    Mon Dec 2, 12:07 PM

Indianapolis Colts WR Josh Downs (shoulder) isn't a lock to return immediately after the Week 14 bye, head coach Shane Steichen said Monday, Dec. 2.

Footballguys view: According to Pro Football Focus' Nathan Jahnke, with both Downs and Ashton Dulin out against the Patriots on Sunday, the Colts' primary solution to their wide receiver problem was making 12 personnel their base offense. This was the first time they used more two-tight end sets than three-receiver sets in a game all season. Rookie Adonai Mitchell joined Michael Pittman Jr. and Alec Pierce as the slot receiver for the three-receiver sets. We'll watch for more through the bye week, but clarity is unlikely until the team starts prepping for their Week 15 game against the Broncos.
