Dameon Pierce: Signs with Kansas City
Dameon Pierce signed with the Chiefs' practice squad Monday.Pierce also received offers from a laundry list of other teams, including the Chargers, Bears, Broncos, Eagles, Colts and Bengals, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Pierce was cut by the Texans last week and quickly finds a new home in Kansas City, where he'll serve as organizational depth behind Isiah Pacheco (knee), Kareem Hunt, Brashard Smith, Elijah Mitchell and Clyde Edwards-Helaire. Pierce could quickly find a spot on the 53-man roster for an offense that is desperate for some sort of jolt from the backfield.

Dameon Pierce: Time up with Texans
Dameon Pierce was waived by the Texans on Thursday.Pierce could garner some interest on waivers considering he has posted some promising performances when given the opportunity. Houston's 2022 fourth-round pick out of Florida rushed for 939 yards as a rookie and capped the 2024 regular season with a 176-yard rushing performance when the Texans were resting starters. Pierce failed to carve out a much of a role in 2025 despite Joe Mixon's (foot/ankle) season-long absence, falling behind rookie Woody Marks, veteran Nick Chubb and even pass-catching specialist Dare Ogunbowale on the running back depth chart prior to being waived.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Serves as returner in Week 8
Dameon Pierce didn't log any snaps on offense and returned three kickoffs for 70 yards in Sunday's 26-15 win over San Francisco.Even with Joe Mixon (foot) missing in action, Pierce has been a forgotten piece on offense and had been a healthy inactive in four of the Houston Texans' first six contests before suiting up Sunday. He has experience as a kickoff returner and could carve out a role on special teams going forward, but Pierce's chances of reclaiming a significant role in the backfield are slim, as Nick Chubb and Woody Marks have formed a fairly effective tandem.

Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are clearly at the top of the depth chart, and it's unclear why head coach DeMeco Ryans would make Pierce active following three consecutive healthy scratches.
