Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the Week 3 matchup against the Tennessee Titans during the 2025 NFL season, marking another setback for the young receiver with a growing history of head injuries.

Alec Pierce Suffers Concussion vs. Titans

Pierce collided hard with the turf after attempting to make a deep catch, resulting in an immediate removal from the game for concussion evaluation. The play, originally marked as a completed catch, was overturned on review, but the injury forced Pierce to be ruled out for the remainder of the contest.

Concussion Injury History

This is not Alec Pierce’s first experience with a concussion during his NFL career:

  • 2022 (Rookie Year): Pierce developed concussion symptoms after Week 1 and missed one game.

  • 2024 Season: Pierce sustained a concussion in Week 15 against the Denver Broncos, ruling him out for the following game (Week 16) vs. the Titans.

  • 2025 (Current): The latest incident came in Week 3 against the Titans.

Impact on the Colts Offense

Pierce had been a deep threat in the Colts' passing game leading up to his injury, and his absence will likely open up opportunities for other receivers like Adonai Mitchell and Ashton Dulin to take on expanded roles.

Outlook and Recovery

Given his history, Alec Pierce will need to clear the NFL’s concussion protocol before returning to action and given his history he is likely to miss next week. The concussion protocol is a process that involves several stages of evaluation and physical testing to ensure player safety.
