Pierce= "Avoided something serious"

Have nothing to hang this on other than Macafee just saying the reports are the Colts are saying they avoided something serious with Pierce. What that means, no idea and haven't seen anything at all official. I would assume however that statement means the MRI confirms no achilles or calf tear?

Will be curious to see the time he is expected to miss for sure.

You actually believe what the Colts say about an injury?

Update from Rapoport:

Quote:

Colts WR Alec Pierce, who aggravated a heel injury that was surgically repaired, will attempt to rehab the ailment rather than have surgery, sources say.

Pierce is slated to be out several weeks while he heals, but if all goes well, he could return midseason.

It’s likely that Alec Pierce will head to IR while he recovers. If all goes well, he could recover without surgery.

But it’s not a guarantee.

Surgery is still possible.

And the Colts signed WR Darius Slayton, a former teammate of Daniel Jones.

Veteran WR Darius Slayton is signing with the Colts, sources tell The Ringer and netflix sports.

With Alec Pierce dealing with a heel injury, Indianapolis turns to Slayton, who played the past seven seasons with the Giants — and now reunites with Daniel Jones.

Slayton compiled 296 catches for 4,435 yards and 22 TDs during his seven-year tenure in New York.

This has a very familiar ring to (Luck,Leonard).

We had no choice but to sign him when we missed on Mitchell. We all wanted Pierce signed but none of us saw his medicals. I didn't even know he needed surgery. The Colts did. It was a big time gamble even if he didn't need surgery (he isn't a number one receiver yet) necessitated by another missed draft choice (Mitchell) the way I am looking at it. It is possible it is just bad luck. Needs to stop either way.

Why not call up Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from the practice squad?

Just spitballing here but it might be because our coaching staff sucks? :)

Slayton is better unless he’s totally washed up.
