Colts Rule Out Alec Pierce, Matt Goncalves and Kenny Moore II for Week 4 at Rams

Indianapolis turns to backups at three positions after Friday’s final injury rulings.

Overview

  • Head coach Shane Steichen said Friday that WR Alec Pierce (concussion), RG Matt Goncalves (toe) and slot CB Kenny Moore II (Achilles) will miss Sunday’s game in Los Angeles.
  • Dalton Tucker will start at right guard in place of Goncalves after Steichen confirmed the change.
  • Second-year wideout Adonai Mitchell is expected to take on Pierce’s snaps; Pierce has 9 catches for 171 yards through three games.
  • Veteran cornerback Mike Hilton, signed to the practice squad this week, will be elevated to primarily replace Moore in the slot.
  • Indianapolis enters the matchup 3-0, with the reshuffled secondary set to see Rams receiver Puka Nacua, who leads the NFL in receptions.
