Bernard Pierce: Waived by Denver
Bernard Pierce (hamstring) was waived Monday by the Broncos, Mike Klis of 9 News Denver reports.Pierce was sidelined with the hamstring injury about a month ago and never was able to make it back to the field. The team expected him to miss a few days once he suffered the injury, but Pierce's recovery evidently didn't progress as quickly as the club had hoped. Pierce, a six-year veteran, could find a new home given his prior experience, but not until he proves he's healthy.

Jets' Bernard Pierce: Placed on IR
Bernard Pierce (hamstring) has been placed on injured reserve, Seth Walder of the New York Daily News reports.Pierce may end up getting released with an injury settlement, as he was merely a fringe roster candidate before injuring his hamstring early in camp. The 2012 third-round pick also has an upcoming two-game suspension, which made him even less likely to earn a spot on the final roster. The New York Jets are replacing Pierce with Antone Smith, who will compete with Dominique Williams (concussion), Lache Seastrunk, Romar Morris and Terry Williams for what will likely be just one roster spot.

Bernard Pierce: Suspended first two games of 2016
Bernard Pierce (calf) has been suspended for the first two games of the 2016 NFL campaign, ESPN reports.There is no official word on the reasoning behind Pierce's suspension, but it may have to do with a DUI arrest from last March. The free-agent running back was claimed off of waivers by Jacksonville only a day after his arrest, but ultimately only gained 11 yards on six carries in 2015. At this point, given his lack of production last season, his injury problems and his off-the-field issues, Pierce will face an uphill battle as he looks for work this coming season.
