Texans' Dameon Pierce: Won't play Sunday

Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.

Pierce, who didn't practice this week, thus is slated to miss his third straight game. Meanwhile, top back Joe Mixon (ankle) returned to a limited practice Friday and is questionable for the contest. Pierce's next chance to see game action will arrive Sunday, Oct. 6 against the Bills.
