Indianapolis Colts adjust wide receiver corps following Alec Pierce injury

The Indianapolis Colts are adjusting their wide receiver corps following a heel injury to Alec Pierce, which has placed him on injured reserve. To address the depth issue, the team signed Darius Slayton, who reunites with quarterback Daniel Jones.

Josh Downs has emerged as a primary target for the Colts during this transition. Known for his route-running abilities, Downs has been utilized both in the slot and as an outside receiver to compensate for the loss of Pierce.

Meanwhile, the Houston Texans fell to a 0-3 record after a loss to the Colts. Texans quarterback C. J. Stroud noted the team's need for more explosive plays to improve their scoring output.
