Top Indianapolis Colts wide receiver Alec Pierce logged a full practice on Wednesday, while backup quarterback Anthony Richardson Sr. sat out.
The Indianapolis Colts got back onto the practice field on Wednesday, with correcting the mistakes of last week and preparing for this weekend's matchup simultaneously at the top of their minds.
The Colts travel west to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in primetime on Sunday Night Football this week in a rematch of last year's overtime collapse.
Here is how both teams' health is shaping up ahead of Sunday afternoon's matchup.
COLTS
WEDNESDAY
- Did Not Participate — WR Ashton Dulin (ankle), QB Anthony Richardson Sr. (groin)
- Limited Participant — LB Austin Ajiake (hamstring), WR Keenan Allen (rest)
- Full Participant — DT DeForest Buckner (ankle), LB Akeem Davis-Gaither (knee), WR Alec Pierce (heel)
Pierce returned to practice a few weeks back and officially logged his first full practice of the young regular season after being limited all last week and playing 32 snaps on Sunday, which was 59% of the offense's snaps for the day.
Dulin's week is on pause after playing 10 snaps on offense and 19 on special teams last Sunday. He wasn't able to come down with his only target, but he made one special teams tackle and returned one kickoff for 33 yards.
Richardson didn't play last week as the backup quarterback, so it's unclear as to when or how his injury would have occurred.
Ajiake made a return to practice on a limited basis on Wednesday after sitting out last Friday's practice and missing Sunday's loss to the Baltimore Ravens.
Buckner and Davis-Gaither are both new additions to the injury report but practiced in full. It was announced by head coach Shane Steichen on Wednesday that Davis-Gaither is going to be taking over on-field play-calling duties effective immediately.
CHIEFS
WEDNESDAY
- Did Not Participate — S Chamarri Conner (knee), OT Josh Simmons (back)
- Limited Participant — DT Chris Jones (calf)
- Full Participant — CB Mansoor Delane (shoulder), DE Ashton Gillotte (foot), QB Patrick Mahomes (knee), WR Rashee Rice (knee), CB L'Jarius Sneed (knee), DE R Mason Thomas (hamstring)
The Chiefs got a dose of good news with rookie first-round pick Delane being a full participant in practice. He injured his shoulder on the Chiefs' defense's first drive on Monday.
Starting left tackle Simmons remains out of practice, however. He was replaced in the lineup last week by undrafted rookie Kahlil Benson out of Indiana.
The Colts and Chiefs face off on Sunday at 8:20 p.m. ET at Arrowhead Stadium on Sunday Night Football on NBC.
