Pierce Back for Colts Opener | NFL News

0:00On September 7th, all right, so the Indianapolis Colts are looking like they're going to have their guy, Alec Pierce, back on the field for their season. Opener against the Ravens this Sunday. Coach Steikin sounded pretty confident about it, saying Pierce should be good to go. He's been working his way back after surgery on his ankle and heel, back in March. Pierce actually returned to practice late last month, which was a big step since he hadn't done anything on the field since the surgery. He was on the physically unable to perform list at the start of training camp, so this is a good sign for the team. Now, this is a big deal because Pierce ain't a massive four-year contract worth $114 million back in March. That was the biggest free agent deal ever for a receiver in the league. He's been a beast, leading the NFL and yards per catch for the last two seasons. He's been getting reps in practice, and the coaches are planning to give him more this week to get him fully ready. The team is definitely counting on him to be a major threat in the passing game. So, yeah, keep an eye on Pierce this Sunday.
