On Saturday of the 2026 NFL combine<\/a>, the wide receivers were one of the position groups to go through the on-field testing portion of the event.<\/p>\n

At wide receiver for the Indianapolis Colts<\/a>, the need here depends on what happens with Alec Pierce and Michael Pittman. Pierce is a free agent, but\u00a0all signs point to<\/a>\u00a0the Colts<\/a> working to bring him back.<\/p>\n

Pittman, meanwhile,\u00a0could be a cut candidate<\/a>, with the Colts saving $24 million in salary cap space if the team moved on from him. Will Indianapolis release him or try to rework his deal? If the Colts are without Pittman, then adding to the receiver position becomes a greater priority.<\/p>\n

Below are the top performers at wide receiver from each\u00a0NFL combine event<\/a>.<\/p>\n
