Colts declared WR Ashton Dulin, QB Sam Ehlinger, S Darren Hall, DE Isaiah Land, and G Atonio Mafi inactive against the Broncos.
Pierce was listed as questionable on Friday but didn't seem at risk of missing today's game after closing the week with a full practice. With Josh Downs out, Pierce should see a slight uptick in targets, putting him in the WR4 ranks for Week 13. Inactive for the Colts are C Tanor Bortolini, WR Josh Downs, WR Ashton Dulin, QB Sam Ehlinger, FS Darren Hall, DE Isaiah Land, and OT Braden Smith.
Colts WR Alec Pierce (foot) is active for today s game vs. the Patriots. He missed the first two practices of the week but returned to a full workout on Friday. With WRs Josh Downs (shoulder) and Ashton Dulin (ankle) out, Pierce, Michael Pittman, and Adonai Mitchell are locked in as the top three WRs against New England s 20th-ranked WR defense.
Pierce followed consecutive no-shows in practice with a full sessions Friday, drawing the questionable tag for Week 13 against the Patriots. His status is suddenly one to follow for the Colts as both Josh Downs and Ashton Dulin have been ruled out. Pierce's presence likely moves electric rookie Adonai Mitchell into the slot.
