As a potential Pierce interim replacement, the Colts promoted Nick Westbrook-Ikhine from their practice squad for Sunday. As you may recall, the Colts signed wideout Nick Westbrook-Ikhine (6,'2", 211 pounds) as their original big bodied Michael Pittman Jr. possession wideout earlier this past offseason. Even though Westbrook-Ikhine flashed at times during training camp, the Colts ultimately signed veteran wideout Keenan Allen late in training camp, which made Westbrook-Ikhine's skill-set a bit redundant.
