WATCH: Colts WR Alec Pierce returns to practice field

Back on the practice field on Thursday was Indianapolis Colts' wide receiver Alec Pierce.

Pierce had been on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list throughout training camp after undergoing ankle surgery back in March. He missed offseason programs as well.

Now in the ramp-up phase, Pierce took part in individual drills, not any of the team periods.

He is still eyeing a Week 1 return.
