Overview

  • Head coach Shane Steichen said Pierce has a concussion and Moore has an Achilles injury after both were held out of Wednesday’s practice.
  • Pierce is in the NFL concussion protocol, and local reporting notes this is his third concussion in four seasons.
  • Moore’s issue was reclassified from a calf injury to the Achilles, and Steichen said there is no timetable for his return.
  • If Pierce is unavailable, Adonai Mitchell and Ashton Dulin could see increased snaps, with Mekhi Blackmon listed as Moore’s backup.
  • Indianapolis signed veteran cornerback Mike Hilton to the practice squad on Tuesday as the 3-0 Colts prepare to visit the 2-1 Rams on Sunday.
