Top Dameon Pierce News

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: No impact in win

    Pierce did not have a carry or a kick return in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15.

    Pierce, who was on the field for seven offensive snaps, hasn't had a carry since Week 11. Since returning from a groin injury that cost him two games, Pierce has played just 18 offensive snaps with one carry and one target. Any meaningful impact he makes will have to come as a returner, barring an injury to Joe Mixon.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: One touch in win

    Pierce caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13. He did not get a carry or return a kickoff.

    Joe Mixon (47 snaps, 20 carries, six targets Sunday) owns the Texans' backfield, leaving nothing but crumbs for Pierce (seven snaps) and Dare Ogunbowale (nine). Pierce has just four carries and one target in his last five appearances.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Makes impact on special teams

    Pierce returned three kickoffs for 135 yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12. He did not play a snap on offense.

    Pierce returned the game's opening kickoff 80 yards to the Titans' 19-yard line, setting up Houston's first score just 18 seconds into the game. He also had a 48-yard return that was negated due to a holding penalty. It was interesting that Pierce did not get on the field with the offense, a unit that produced just 40 rushing yards and a 2.4 YPC. Dare Ogunbowale got the 13 snaps when Joe Mixon was not on the field; however, fantasy managers should not infer that Ogunbowale would be the starter if Mixon were injured.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Minimal usage in return

    Pierce has one carry for two yards in Monday's 34-10 win over Dallas. He also returned one kickoff for five yards.

    Pierce was given just four snaps on offense, as the Texans made it the Joe Mixon show in primetime. Mixon typically dominates the backfield, but his 81 percent share of the snaps was a season high. This was Pierce's first game back after missing the previous two due to a groin injury, so his workload could tick up as he puts the issue further behind him.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: All set for Monday

    Pierce (groin) does not carry an injury designation ahead of Monday's contest against the Cowboys.

    This was to be expected after Pierce practiced fully Friday. The backup running back will be poised to retain his role behind one of the better backs in the NFL this year, Joe Mixon.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Upgrades to full participation

    Pierce (groin) was a full participant in practice Friday.

    Pierce's activity level Friday suggests he's finally over the groin injury that sidelined him for Houston's past two games. Barring a setback, he's likely to avoid an injury designation on Saturday's injury report, which would put him in line to reclaim the backup role behind Joe Mixon against the Cowboys on Monday Night Football.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Back at practice

    Pierce (groin) returned to practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Pierce, who has missed two straight games, didn't practice ahead of Week 10 action, so the running back's participation in Thursday's session -- albeit in a limited fashion -- bodes well for his chances of being available Monday night against the Cowboys. If Pierce does suit up for the contest, he'd step back into a complementary role behind top back Joe Mixon.
