Colts' No. 1 WR Alec Pierce carried to sideline medical tent, carted off field with heel injury in OT loss to Chiefs

Pierce pulled up hopping on one leg after suffering the injury on a route in the first quarter at Arrowhead Stadium. He couldn't put weight on the leg and had to be carried to the tent by two athletic trainers. He eventually left the field sitting on a cart.

Shortly after he left the field, the Colts announced that he had a heel injury. They quickly ruled him out from there. The precise nature of Pierce's injury wasn't initially clear.

Pierce had surgery to repair the ankle on the same leg in the offseason. It's unclear if the two injuries are related. Pierce had the procedure to address an injury that had lingered since the end of the 2024 season. The Colts characterized the surgery as a "clean-up procedure. "
