Overview
- Alec Pierce, who was taken off the PUP list late last month, was listed as a limited participant on both Wednesday and Thursday practice reports and is expected to play Sunday against the Ravens.
- Head coach Shane Steichen said Pierce is "on track" to play, but the team has not set a definitive workload or snap count for the opener.
- Rookie safety AJ Haulcy, tight end Drew Ogletree, and center Sedrick Van Pran-Granger were upgraded to full practice on Thursday, which improves short-term depth for the Week 1 roster.
- Quarterback Anthony Richardson was added to the Thursday report with an illness but practiced fully, leaving Pierce as the only regular offensive skill player still limited in practice.
- Pierce is returning from offseason ankle and heel surgery and the Colts are using limited practice reps and a planned reduced snap plan to protect his long-term health while keeping him available for the season opener.
