What happened: Indianapolis agreed to terms with Darius Slayton while Alec Pierce is expected to miss at least several weeks. Pierce aggravated his surgically repaired heel. Pierce is likely headed to injured reserve to open the roster spot.

Why it matters: Slayton brings 296 career catches for 4,435 yards and 22 touchdowns. That production gives Indianapolis a proven outside threat instead of camp depth. The Colts can stay aggressive at receiver until Pierce returns.
