Colts RB Jonathan Taylor had his worst fantasy output of the season with a 14-45-0 stat line on the ground and catching his only two targets for 12 yards. The Steelers' defense loaded the box, forcing QB Daniel Jones to beat them. The Colts leaned on the pass, throwing the ball 50 times.

Colts WR Josh Downs (hip) did not practice on Wednesday. It's a new injury for Downs, and we don't have any other details. We'll keep tabs on his status leading up to Sunday's game vs. the Steelers. Downs' absence would leave targets behind for WRs Michael Pittman and Alec Pierce and TE Tyler Warren.

Colts WR Michael Pittman Jr. grabbed 8 receptions or 95 yards and a TD in Sunday's win over the Titans. It marked the first time he has caught 7+ passes in consecutive games since 2023. Pittman's TD also gives him six for the season, matching his career high from 2021. Pittman now leads these Colts in targets and receptions by six apiece. He still trails TE Tyler Warren in receiving yards. But both sit well ahead of the rest of the crew in all three categories. Warren posted a 4-53 receiving line against the Titans on five targets, trailing Pittman's lead by four. WR Josh Downs went 3-39-1 receiving on three targets. WR Alec Pierce caught two balls for 69 yards among five targets.

Colts WR Alec Pierce led the team in targets and receiving yards in Sunday's win over the Chargers. His 10 targets edged WR Michael Pittman by one. Pierce caught five of those -- second on the team -- for 98 yards. That led the Colts by 29. A 48-yard reception made up nearly half of Pierce's total yardage.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) put in a full week of practice and isn’t listed on the final injury report. He’ll step back in as Indianapolis’ No. 2 WR against the Cardinals on Sunday. Pierce checks in 54th in the Week 6 WR rankings.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He practiced early last week but was sidelined on Friday and ruled out for the Raiders game. Pierce should be back for Sunday's game against the Cardinals and step back in as Indianapolis' No. 2 WR. He averaged 3.0 catches and 57 yards over the first three games of the season.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders. He put in full practices on Wednesday and Thursday but was sidelined on Friday, so this looks like a setback. We'll see if Pierce can make it back for Week 6. WR Adonai Mitchell replaced Pierce as a full-time player last week, catching 3 of 4 targets for 96 yards. But he made two huge mistakes, so it's possible that the Colts scale back his role in this one.

Colts WR Michael Pittman was added to the injury report and limited in practice on Thursday with a hamstring. That likely means he hurt the hammy today -- and puts his status for Sunday's game vs. the Raiders in question. Indianapolis is getting WR Alec Pierce back from his concussion this week. Pittman would typically be replaced by WR Adonai Mitchell, but Mitchell gave up the ball at the goal line and committed a costly holding penalty last week. It's unclear if the Colts would go back to him in a full-time role. The other options would be WR Ashton Dulin -- or using WR Josh Downs in 2-WR sets. We'll update Pittman's status tomorrow.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice. He's on track to return for this weekend's game vs. the Raiders and should step back into a full-time role after WR Adonai Mitchell's mistake-filled Week 4.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Rams. That should mean a big boost in snaps for WR Adonai Mitchell, who flashed as a rookie last year and had a strong training camp this summer. Mitchell would be a desperation play in season-long leagues, but he’s intriguing for daily lineups.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. He's unlikely to be cleared from this concussion -- the third of his career -- in time for this weekend's game vs. the Rams. Pierce's absence would likely vault WR Adonai Mitchell into a full-time role.

Colts WR Alec Pierce left to be evaluated for a concussion in the third quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Titans. His head banged against the turf after he went up to catch a deep ball (that was originally ruled a catch before being overturned by replay). We'll update Pierce's status when we know more.

Update: Pierce has been ruled out with a concussion. It's his third documented concussion.

Colts’ WR Josh Downs left Thursday’s practice early with an apparent hamstring injury, according to James Boyd of The Athletic.

Colts WR Alec Pierce suffered a groin injury in Sunday's practice. He briefly tried to play through it before heading inside with trainers, according to The Indy Star's Joel Erickson. That suggests it's not a significant injury, but we'll look for more details.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) put in a full week of practice and is off the final injury report for Sunday’s game vs. the Giants. He should be back in a near full-time role but would be a flier in Week 17 fantasy lineups.

Colts WR Alec Pierce (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Titans. He leaves behind 4.1 targets per game, giving WRs Michael Pittman and Josh Downs slight boosts. WR Adonai Mitchell figures to soak up most of Pierce's snaps but is only viable in DFS tournaments.

Colts WRs Michael Pittman (back) and Alec Pierce (concussion) did not practice on Wednesday. Pittman has been playing through this back issue for a while now, although he was a full-go at practice all last week. We're still tentatively expecting him to play vs. the Titans this weekend but will keep you posted on his status. Pierce is unlikely to clear protocol in time to play on Sunday.

Colts WR Alec Pierce sustained a concussion in the first half of Sunday's game vs. the Broncos and won't return. It's his second documented concussion. We'll track his progress through the protocol this coming week. Pierce's absence means a boost in snaps for WR Adonai Mitchell.
