On 2026-09-22 the Indianapolis Colts released an unofficial depth chart ahead of their Week 3 divisional game against the Houston Texans, announcing they had signed veteran WR Darius Slayton and that WR Alec Pierce aggravated his heel and was uncertain for Week 3.
The Colts’ team-issued unofficial chart (released 2026-09-22) lists Daniel Jones as the starting quarterback with Anthony Richardson Sr. and Riley Leonard as backups; Jonathan Taylor is listed as the lead running back. The receiving group includes Alec Pierce, Laquon Treadwell and newly signed Darius Slayton, though coach Shane Steichen said Pierce aggravated his heel and his Week 3 availability was in question. The club also noted its Rivalry uniforms will debut in the matchup.
