Colts GM Chris Ballard confirmed Pierce is 'a week or so away' from returning after being placed on PUP following minor cleanup ankle surgery in the offseason. Pierce underwent the procedure earlier in the offseason with the expectation of returning during the back half of training camp, which aligns with the official camp timeline (kicks off immediately, concludes August 20th). The Colts may initially take it easy on Pierce during his return, gradually ramping him up to see how his surgically cleaned ankle responds.
