Alec Pierce - Hauls in late TD Pierce caught two of six targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.

Impact The third-year wideout dealt with a foot injury in practice this week, and while he was eventually cleared to play, Pierce appeared headed for a very quiet day until he caught a three-yard TD from Anthony Richardson with just 12 seconds left in the fourth quarter for what seemed to be the tying score. Rather than sending the game to overtime with an extra point though, coach Shane Steichen put the ball in Richardson's hands, and the young QB ran in a two-point conversion for the win. The touchdown was Pierce's fifth of the season after he managed only four across his first two NFL campaigns, and he'll get a bye in Week 14 to let his foot heal further.

Michael Pittman Jr. - Five grabs in Sunday's win Pittman caught five of seven targets for 42 yards in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.

Impact Second-year QB Anthony Richardson completed only 12 passes on the day while attempting only 24, and Pittman was by far the Colts' leader in catches and receiving yards as a result despite his modest numbers. Since missing a Week 10 contest with back trouble, Pittman has been his usual stalwart self, posting a 16-184-0 line on 22 targets, but his TD drought now sits at six games. He'll look to find paydirt again on the other side of the Colts' Week 14 bye,

Jonathan Taylor - Ends scoring drought Sunday Taylor carried the ball 25 times for 96 yards and caught his only target for a seven-yard touchdown in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots.

Impact The veteran RB just missed compiling 100 rushing yards for the fifth time in 10 appearances this season, and Taylor ended his four-game scoring drought with his first TD reception of the year late in the first quarter. Taylor heads into the Colts' Week 14 bye only 78 yards short of 1,000 scrimmage yards, a mark he reached in each of his first three NFL seasons before falling short in an injury-plagued 2023.

Anthony Richardson - Plays hero in New England Richardson completed 12 of 24 passes for 109 yards and two touchdowns with two interceptions in Sunday's 25-24 win over the Patriots. He added 48 yards and a touchdown on nine carr...

Impact That two-point conversion came with two seconds left in the fourth quarter, after Richardson had led a five-minute scoring drive that he capped with a three-yard TD pass to Alec Pierce on fourth down. A poor completion rate is simply part of the package with the second-year QB at this stage of his development, but there's no denying Richardson's athletic upside, and since reclaiming the starting job for the Colts he's produced six touchdowns (three passing, three rushing) in three games. The Colts are on bye in Week 14, giving Richardson time to recharge ahead of the team's final push for the playoffs.

Patriots' Jabrill Peppers active vs. Colts amid ongoing domestic violence case

New England Patriots safety Jabrill Peppers is active for Sunday’s game against the Indianapolis Colts after being taken off the commissioner exempt list this week amid his ongoing...

DECEMBER 1, 2024 • Associated Press

Alec Pierce - Active versus New England Pierce (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact Following back-to-back 'DNP' listings, Pierce was deemed a full participant in his return to practice Friday before approaching Sunday's contest listed as questionable. With his availability versus New England confirmed, barring any setbacks Pierce should play a key role in the Colts passing offense alongside Michael Pittman and Adonai Mitchell, with fellow wideouts Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) both inactive. Though he's been a hit-or-miss fantasy option of late, the absence of Downs could provide Pierce (who overall has compiled a 27/629/4 receiving line on 48 targets through 12 games) with added Week 13 opportunities.

Alec Pierce - Expected to suit up Sunday Pierce (foot), who is questionable for Sunday's Week 13 battle against New England, is expected to play, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

Impact Pierce didn't practice at all Wednesday or Thursday but was able to log a full session Friday. That was a good omen heading into the weekend, and it appears the third-year wideout will be able to play Sunday. Though Pierce has a modest eight catches over his past three games, half of those have gone for at least 20 yards, emphasizing the deep-ball threat he poses for opposing defenses.

Laquon Treadwell - Elevated for Week 13 The Colts elevated Treadwell from their practice squad to their active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's matchup versus the Patriots.

Impact This is Treadwell's second elevation of the season. He was first elevated Week 10 against Buffalo and played seven snaps, all on special teams. The veteran wideout could get some offensive snaps Sunday against New England with Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) ruled out and Alec Pierce (foot) questionable to suit up.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • YOUTUBE

Braden Smith - Won't play Week 13 Smith (personal) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Patriots, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Smith will miss his first game of the regular season due to a personal matter, and his next chance to play will be Week 15 against the Broncos on Sunday, Dec. 15. Matt Goncalves is the top candidate to start at right tackle Sunday due to Smith's absence.

NOVEMBER 30, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Tanor Bortolini - Ruled out for Week 13 Bortolini (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Patriots, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Bortolini entered concussion protocols following the Colts' Week 12 loss to the Lions, and he has not progressed through the league's five-step protocols enough to play Sunday. With Indianapolis on a bye for Week 14, his next chance to play will be Week 15 against Denver on Sunday, Dec. 15. Danny Pinter will likely start at center Sunday due to Bortolini's injury.

Colts vs. Patriots 2024 Prediction, Odds, Picks - Dec 1

Ashton Dulin - Ruled out for Week 13 Dulin (ankle) won't play in Sunday's game against New England, Amanda Foster of the Colts' official site reports.

Impact Foster injured his ankle last Sunday against the Lions, and he won't suit up versus the Patriots after being unable to practice all week. The fifth-year wideout hasn't recorded a catch since Week 2, so his absence isn't likely to have a significant impact on Indianapolis' offensive game plan. The Colts are on bye next week, which will give Dulin extra time to try to recover in time for Week 15.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Alec Pierce - Questionable after full practice Pierce (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Patriots despite practicing without limitations Friday.

Impact Pierce was a full participant in his return to practice Friday after logging DNPs on Wednesday and Thursday, but he still carries an injury designation into Sunday's game against New England. His return Friday was an encouraging development, and Pierce appears more likely than not to suit up as part of a Colts passing game that will be without wide receivers Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle).

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • Associated Press

Josh Downs - Won't play Sunday Head coach Shane Steichen has ruled out Downs (shoulder) for Sunday's game against the Patriots.

Impact With Downs and Ashton Dulin (ankle) both out, Michael Pittman, Alec Pierce and Adonai Mitchell are in line to lead the Colts' Week 13 wideout corps. With the team on bye in Week 14, Downs' next chance to see game action will arrive Dec. 15 against the Broncos.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Bernhard Raimann - Past knee issue Raimann (knee) was listed as a full practice participant on Thursday's injury report.

Impact Raimann appears to be on track to play Sunday against the Patriots after missing the Colts' last two games due to a knee injury. He'll likely reclaim his starting job at left tackle from Matt Goncalves.

NOVEMBER 29, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Josh Downs - Missing Thursday's practice Downs (shoulder) didn't participate in practice Thursday, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.

Impact On Wednesday, head coach Shane Steichen noted that it will be "tough" for Downs to play Sunday against the Patriots, and the wideout's absence from practice Thursday supports that notion. Friday's injury report will reveal whether Downs heads into the weekend with any chance to be available versus New England, a context that also applies to fellow wideouts Alec Pierce (foot) and Ashton Dulin (ankle), who were both sidelined Thursday.
