Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Michael Pittman Jr. (11) and wide receiver Alec Pierce (14) celebrate a touchdown by Pierce on Sunday, Dec. 3, 2023, during a game against the Tennessee Titans at Nissan Stadium in Nashville, Tenn.

Overview

  • Head coach Shane Steichen confirmed Monday that Pierce is in the NFL concussion protocol following Sunday’s game in Nashville.
  • Pierce exited in the third quarter after a leaping 42-yard attempt that was overturned to an incomplete pass on replay.
  • He was examined on the sideline, sent to the locker room, and was officially ruled out by the team during the game.
  • Before leaving, he led the Colts with four receptions for 67 yards against the Titans.
  • This is treated as at least his third concussion since entering the NFL, with prior incidents in September 2022 and December 2024, and his return timeline remains uncertain.
