Following Sunday's game, Chappell wrote that Pierce briefly exited the game and was taken to the locker room after his left wrist hit the helmet of Ravens' linebacker Roquan Smith at some point in the first half.
Chappell added that Pierce's X-rays came back negative. He then spoke to the Colts' wideout about the injury after the game.
“It’s good,’’ Pierce told Chappell. “I just bruised up my hand. No worries.’’
Pierce underwent offseason ankle surgery that landed
him on the PUP list for much of training camp. He has spent the past few weeks ramping up, which included taking on a smaller role in Sunday's game.
Out of 54 offensive plays, he was on the field for 32 of them, according to PFF.
Pierce finished the game with four receptions for 61 yards. He led the team in receiving.
