Colts Place Alec Pierce on Injured Reserve, Promote Anthony Gould

The Colts moved wide receiver Alec Pierce to injured reserve with a heel injury while promoting rookie wideout Anthony Gould from the practice squad and elevating veteran Nick Westbrook-Ikhine for game day.

Pierce’s placement on injured reserve removes a key member of Indianapolis’ receiving group from the active roster. Gould now joins the 53-man roster after beginning the season on the practice squad, while Westbrook-Ikhine is available as a temporary elevation for the upcoming game.

Steelers elevate two defenders

Pittsburgh added defensive depth for game day by elevating defensive end Tyreke Smith and linebacker Cole Christiansen from the practice squad.

Smith gives the Steelers another option along the edge, while Christiansen provides additional linebacker and special-teams coverage.

Cardinals reshuffle roster

Arizona signed defensive back Erick Hallett from its practice squad, waived linebacker Owen Pappoe and elevated running back Michael Carter for game day.

Hallett takes a place on the active roster as the Cardinals adjust their defensive-back group. Carter’s elevation supplies added depth in the backfield for the upcoming matchup.
