Alec Pierce in the Concussion Protocol, Status Up in the Air for Week 4
Alec Pierce (concussion) is in the league's concussion protocol after suffering a head injury in the Week 3 win over the Tennessee Titans, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Pierce suffered the injury while coming down hard on a catch deep down the field in the blowout victory over Tennessee. Before leaving, the 25-year-old pass-catcher caught four of his five targets for 67 yards. He is now up in the air to be ready to play on Sunday in Week 4 against the Los Angeles Rams, and fantasy managers will have to check his practice statuses, beginning on Wednesday. Through three weeks, Pierce ranks third in Indy with 171 receiving yards, behind rookie tight end Tyler Warren and receiver Michael Pittman Jr. If Pierce is unable to play in Week 4, Josh Downs will be a much more attractive WR4/flex in fantasy lineups as the Colts look to remain undefeated.
