Alec Pierce Gives Timetable for His Return

Wednesday, June 10, 5:21 PM

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (ankle) didn't participate in OTAs or minicamp practices while he recovers from surgery. Pierce underwent a clean-up procedure on his ankle that has been bothering him for years. Pierce hasn't been on the field yet, but believes he'll be ready to go at some point during training camp. The Colts are going to play it safe and make sure Pierce is 100 percent ready before getting him back into the mix. The expectation is that Pierce will have no lingering effects from this ankle problem that has plagued him since 2024. Despite not being fully healthy, Pierce still finished with over 1,000 receiving yards this past season. He signed a massive $114 million extension with the Colts and is expected to be a focal point in the offense moving forward.

Ladd McConkey Dealing With Hamstring Strain, Expected to be Ready for Camp

Tuesday, June 16, 3:16 PM

Los Angeles Chargers wide receiver Ladd McConkey (hamstring) said he strained his left hamstring during Phase 2 of the team's offseason program, but he doesn't view it as a significant concern and expects to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, according to Kris Rhim of ESPN. Head coach Jim Harbaugh said that McConkey is "working through something," but that he will take part in individual drills during this week's mandatory minicamp. The 24-year-old burst onto the scene as a rookie in 2024 after the Bolts took him with the 34th overall pick in the second round in 2024 out of the University of Georgia, catching 82 of his 112 targets for 1,149 yards and seven touchdowns in 16 games. McConkey took a slight step back as a sophomore, though, finishing with a 66-789-6 line on 106 targets across 16 regular-season games. In his first year in new offensive coordinator Mike McDaniel's scheme, McConkey could be headed for another big year, making him a strong WR2 target in fantasy drafts, especially in PPR formats.
