Haulcy (ankle), TE Drew Ogletree (neck), WR Alec Pierce (heel) and C Sedrick Van Pran‑Granger (illness).

The Colts opened Week 1 preparations with a full 53-man practice on Wednesday at the Indiana Farm Bureau Football Center. Four players were listed as limited on the report: safety A.J. Haulcy (ankle), tight end Drew Ogletree (neck), wide receiver Alec Pierce (heel) and center Sedrick Van Pran‑Granger (illness).
Pierce, recovering from offseason surgery that kept him on the physically unable to perform list through late August, said he’s “every day getting better,” and coach Shane Steichen said Pierce is “on track” to play in Week 1. The team noted Haulcy — the 2026 third‑round pick — missed the last few weeks of practice with an ankle injury and is listed as a starter on the Colts’ unofficial depth chart. The Colts planned practices Thursday and Friday before kicking off the 2026 regular season Sunday against the Baltimore Ravens at Lucas Oil Stadium.
