Alec Pierce Returns, Not Focused on Extension

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce recently missed a practice due to a minor foot blister but has since returned and is expected to be available for the preseason opener. Coming off a breakout 2024 season with career highs in receiving yards (824), touchdowns (seven), and leading the NFL with 22.3 yards per catch, Pierce has said he is not currently focused on a contract extension. He plans to play out the 2025 season and leave negotiations to his agent while concentrating on improving his on-field performance. The Colts' quarterback situation, involving Anthony Richardson and Daniel Jones, remains unsettled and could influence Pierce's future production. Despite some inconsistencies in the offense during training camp, Pierce continues to impress as a deep threat, especially in red zone drills. Entering a contract year in 2025, Pierce is prioritizing building chemistry with his quarterbacks and maintaining his upward trajectory.
