Colts place Alec Pierce on IR, sign Gould

The Indianapolis Colts placed wide receiver Alec Pierce on injured reserve after he aggravated a surgically repaired heel injury during the Week 2 overtime loss to Kansas City. The move means Pierce must miss at least four games, with reports estimating a four-to-six-week absence and a possible return around midseason. Indianapolis signed Anthony Gould from its practice squad to the 53-man roster and elevated Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for the Texans game; Gould returned four kickoffs against Kansas City.
