How Keenan Allen signing with Colts affects Alec Pierce

Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce (14) signals a first down after a catch Sunday, Oct. 12, 2025, against the Arizona Cardinals at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis. The Colts just picked up an NFL legend.It could be a great addition or it could be a bad omen for the franchise. Indianapolis signed Keenan Allen to a 1-year deal worth up to $8.32 million. The 6-time Pro Bowler played for the Bears last year, racking up 70 catches for 744 yards and 7 TD's. Not bad for an NFL elder. Allen, 34, has a chance to contribute to a Colts offense with a fantastic running game behind Jonathan Taylor. There's only one problem. Indianapolis has another wide receiver, Alec Pierce, whose injury status is a major concern. Signing Allen could be a sign that Pierce's injury is worse than expected.Al
