Alec Pierce Set to Bolster Colts’ Lineup Against Patriots in Week 13
As NFL Week 13 unfolds, the Indianapolis Colts face a pivotal matchup against the New England Patriots, and the buzz centers on wide receiver Alec Pierce. Listed as questionable earlier in the week due to a foot injury, Pierce is now confirmed to play, providing much-needed reinforcement to the Colts' offense.
The Colts' receiving corps has faced significant setbacks, with Josh Downs sidelined due to a shoulder injury and Ashton Dulin also ruled out. These absences make Pierce’s availability all the more critical, especially in a game where Indianapolis aims to strengthen its playoff bid. Alongside Michael Pittman Jr., Pierce is expected to shoulder the offensive load against a Patriots defense that has shown vulnerabilities this season.

Indianapolis has not had it easy on the offensive front. Key offensive linemen Braden Smith and Tanor Bortolini are unavailable, though left tackle Bernhard Raimann’s return offers some solace. To compensate for their depleted roster, the Colts elevated Laquon Treadwell from the practice squad, while also making strategic adjustments by signing guard Atonio Mafi to the 53-man roster and waiving linebacker Liam Anderson.
For the Patriots, injuries are also a concern, with offensive lineman Cole Strange and several other key players ruled out. Both teams are navigating these challenges as they prepare for the 1 p.m. ET kickoff at Gillette Stadium.
The Colts have had mixed results this season, standing at 8-4 against the spread but struggling to maintain consistency. With the Patriots at 4-8 ATS, Sunday’s game promises to be a tightly contested battle. Pierce’s ability to perform at a high level could be a game-changer, as he steps into a prominent role amidst limited options in the Colts’ receiving unit.
Fans can catch the game on CBS or stream it on Paramount+, where Colts quarterback Anthony Richardson will look to replicate his late-game heroics from previous weeks. For Pierce, this is a chance to shine under pressure and help the Colts secure a vital win in their quest for playoff contention.
