Colts Activate Alec Pierce from PUP List

The Indianapolis Colts have activated wide receiver Alec Pierce off the physically unable to perform list, allowing him to return to the field.

This decision was reported by Mike Chappell of Fox 59 Indianapolis, with head coach Shane Steichen indicating earlier in the week that Pierce was close to making his comeback. Pierce had been recovering from ankle surgery performed during the offseason.

In March, the Colts secured Pierce with a four-year, $114 million contract. He had a standout season in 2025, recording 47 receptions for 1,003 yards and six touchdowns across 15 games. Over his career, Pierce has accumulated 157 catches for 2,934 yards and 17 touchdowns in 64 games.
