Overview

  • After being limited Thursday with an Achilles issue, Alec Pierce practiced in full Friday, according to the Colts’ second Week 16 report.
  • ESPN’s Stephen Holder previously described the limitation as precautionary in a post on X.
  • Pierce played every offensive snap in Week 15 and is averaging 20.1 yards per catch this season.
  • Indianapolis visits the 49ers in Week 16, with the full practice viewed as a positive sign for his availability.
