Colts WR Alec Pierce still has not practiced this summer after undergoing off-season ankle surgery, and Colts WR Josh Do Via @AdamSchefter on X

What happened: Josh Downs sat out Saturday's practice with a groin injury. Alec Pierce remains on active/PUP while recovering from his offseason procedure.

Why it matters: The overlapping absences reduce Indianapolis' receiving options during preseason preparation. Pierce can resume practicing once he is cleared and removed from active/PUP.

What to watch: Watch whether Downs returns and whether Pierce is cleared for his first summer practice.
