Former University of Cincinnati star wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform (PUP) list by the Indianapolis Colts, according to The Indianapolis Star. A player on the PUP list cannot practice with the team until he’s designated to return; the Colts can bring back Pierce at any time.
According to a story on IndyStar.com, Pierce’s inclusion on the PUP list is no surprise. The budding star, who signed a four-year, $114 million contract as one of the most coveted players in free agency, underwent ankle surgery in late March that carried a recovery time of four to six months. The ankle became a problem late last season.
The IndyStar.com report also said that Indianapolis sees Pierce as a critical piece of the roster moving forward. When the Colts needed a new player to take Kenny Moore II's place on the side of Lucas Oil Stadium, the Colts chose Pierce, who posted 1,003 yards on just 47 catches last season, sparking an offseason bidding war that the Colts won.
Pierce starred for UC’s 2021 team that finished 13-1 and lost to Alabama in the College Football Playoff semifinals. He had 52 catches for 884 yards and eight touchdowns that season.
He was a second-round draft pick by the Colts in 2022 and has 157 catches for 2,934 yards and 17 touchdowns in four seasons.
