Negative X-rays don't mean much when the guy left in a boot and on a cart. Pierce is a low-end WR3 at best in this format, so the injury is more roster-management annoyance than crisis. Bench him this week without agonizing, and don't reach for a waiver replacement off panic alone since the profile here was never must-start.
