Colts' Alec Pierce Ruled Out for Key Matchup Against Titans Due to Concussion

The Colts will face the Titans without their top receiver and a starting linebacker as they fight to keep their playoff hopes alive.

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce, the team's leader in receiving yards, has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans due to a concussion sustained in last week's loss to the Denver Broncos.
Pierce leads the Colts with 645 receiving yards, an NFL-best 22.2 yards per catch, and five touchdown receptions this season, making his absence a significant loss for the team's offense.
Rookie wide receiver Adonai Mitchell is expected to take on an expanded role, while backup Ashton Dulin may return from an ankle injury to provide additional depth.
Starting linebacker E.J. Speed, third on the team in tackles, will also miss the game with a knee injury, likely leading to veteran Grant Stuard stepping in as his replacement.
The Colts, currently holding a 6-8 record, must win this divisional matchup to maintain their chances of securing an AFC playoff spot.
