Alec Pierce Set to Miss Several Weeks With Heel Injury

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce is expected to miss several weeks after re-injuring his surgically repaired left heel during a 33-30 loss to the Chiefs. Bypassing immediate surgery for now, Pierce left in a walking boot on crutches and is likely to head to injured reserve, aiming for a midseason return. The Colts quickly moved to sign veteran wide receiver Darius Slayton to help offset the absence of their vertical threat and 1,000-yard receiver.
