Overview

• Indianapolis diagnosed Alec Pierce with a concussion during the third quarter in Nashville and ruled him out for the remainder of the game.
• Pierce was injured on a leaping 42-yard try, landing hard before a review determined he did not complete the catch.
• Upset by the ruling, Pierce initially refused to enter the sideline injury tent while arguing the call.
• Wide receivers coach Reggie Wayne persuaded him to be evaluated, after which Pierce briefly visited the tent and then headed to the locker room.
• Before exiting, he led the Colts with four receptions for 67 yards, and his return to play will depend on clearing the NFL concussion protocol.
