Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Lands on injured reserve
The Eagles placed Pierce (undisclosed) on injured reserve Wednesday
Pierce thus is joining fellow RBs Tank Bigsby (abdomen) and Will Shipley (foot) on IR, leaving Saquon Barkley and Jaydon Blue as the only players at the position on the Eagles' active roster. Pierce made a late exit from Monday's loss to the Cowboys, which followed Barkley's own earlier departure due to a back issue. Pierce's health concern is enough for him to miss at least four contests, meaning his next chance for game action is Sunday, Dec. 6, in Arizona.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Makes late exit in Week 7
Pierce didn't take the field for either of the Eagles' final two possessions of Monday's 38-21 loss to the Cowboys after sustaining an undisclosed injury with 8:38 remaining in the fourth quarter, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Pierce was the second Eagles running back to make an early exit from Monday's contest, as starter Saquon Barkley was held out for the entire fourth quarter while nursing hamstring and back injuries. Before leaving the contest, Pierce carried 14 times for 47 yards and a touchdown while adding a one-yard reception on his lone target. Ahead of their Week 8 matchup with the Commanders, the Eagles will issue their next injury report Wednesday, when the nature of Pierce's health concern as well as the extent of his practice activity will be revealed.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Solid volume as Barkley exits early
Pierce rushed 14 times for 47 yards and a touchdown and brought in his only target for one yard in the Eagles' 38-21 loss to the Cowboys on Monday night. He also returned two kickoffs for 37 yards.
Pierce opened the night in a clear No. 2 role behind the returning Saquon Barkley, but the latter's eventual exit in the fourth quarter due to a back injury helped Pierce double up his teammate in carries. Pierce finished with season highs in rush attempts and rushing yards, and he scored his second touchdown of the campaign on a five-yard run early in the second quarter. With Barkley now navigating multiple injuries, there's a possibility Pierce is back in the top role for a Week 8 road matchup against the Commanders on Sunday night.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Returning to reserve role
Pierce is welcoming back Barkley (hamstring) to the Eagles backfield in Week 7 due to the latter being active Monday versus the Cowboys.
With Barkley out of the lineup the last two games, Pierce accounted for 27 touches for 62 yards from scrimmage and one rushing TD. In Barkley's two healthy outings this season, he averaged 16.0 touches per game, and if he takes on such a role Monday, Pierce will have to fight for scraps in the Eagles offense. Elijah Mitchell also is on hand for RB reps.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Logs 16 touches in lead role
Pierce rushed 12 times for 35 yards and a touchdown and brought in four of five targets for 15 yards in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Pierce handled all the running back carries for the Eagles with all of Saquon Barkley (hamstring), Tank Bigsby (IR, abdomen) and Will Shipley (IR, foot) unavailable. As his rushing line suggests, Pierce found running room mostly at a premium, but he managed his first touchdown on the ground since the 2024 season on a two-yard run late in the first half. Pierce also was surprisingly involved as a receiver with Tanner McKee quarterbacking the offense, and the veteran back will remain in a similar role in a Week 7 home matchup against the Cowboys next Monday night if Barkley remains out.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Will be starting RB against Carolina
Pierce will be the Eagles' starting running back against the Panthers on Sunday due to the absences of both Saquon Barkley (hamstring) and Will Shipley (foot, IR).
Shipley was placed on injured reserve Friday, and Barkley will miss a second consecutive game due to a hamstring injury that he sustained against the Rams in Week 4. As such, Pierce will be the lead back for Sunday's contest while Carson Steele operates as the backup. Pierce turned 11 carries into 14 yards and added two catches (on five targets) for minus-two yards in a Week 5 loss to the Jaguars. That game in London was the fifth-year pro's debut with the Eagles this season, and with another week of practice under his belt, Pierce will have the chance to produce against a Panthers defense that allows 156.5 rushing yards per game, which is second-most in the NFL only behind the Cowboys (168.4).

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Last back standing in Week 5 loss
Pierce carried the ball 11 times for 14 yards and caught two of five targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Jaguars.
With Saquon Barkley (hamstring) inactive and Tank Bigsby (abdomen) on IR, Pierce began the game as the No. 2 running back for the Eagles behind Will Shipley, and he moved into the top spot after Shipley exited the game just before halftime with a foot injury. The result was Pierce's highest touch volume since Week 18 of the 2024 season with the Texans, although his longest gain went for just six yards. The Eagles' offense is struggling overall behind a patchwork offensive line, but if Pierce finds himself as the top healthy RB option in Week 6 against the Panthers, he'll still have some deep-league fantasy appeal.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Signed off practice squad
The Eagles signed Pierce off their practice squad Wednesday.
Philadelphia placed Tank Bigsby (core) on injured reserve Tuesday and appears likely to be without top back Saquon Barkley (hamstring) for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, so Pierce will be moved up from the practice squad to replenish the team's depth in the backfield. Assuming Barkley sits, Pierce will be primarily competing for reps with Will Shipley, who has been on the roster all season as the No. 3 back behind Barkley and Bigsby. Philadelphia could also look to elevate one of Jaydon Blue or Carson Steele from the practice squad ahead of Sunday's contest.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Elevated to 53-man roster
The Eagles elevated Pierce from the practice squad to the 53-man roster Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
With the Eagles' practice week kicking off Wednesday, Pierce is getting the nod over Jaydon Blue, as Saquon Barkley deals with a hamstring injury that he suffered in last Sunday's loss to the Rams. Tank Bigsby (abdomen) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, so there's a real chance Philly's backfield consists of Will Shipley and Pierce against the Jaguars in London on Sunday. Shipley is the hot addition off the waiver wire in fantasy this week, but it's no guarantee that he handles the majority of the rushing work ahead of Pierce, who is a prototypical early-down rusher. Shipley has been the team's preferred passing-down back this season. Pierce is certainly worth a speculative add in most fantasy formats.

Dameon Pierce: Joins up with Philly's practice squad
The Eagles signed Pierce to the practice squad Monday.
The Eagles cut Pierce on Sunday, and the running back was immediately welcomed onto the team's practice squad. Pierce spent four years with the Texans before shifting to the Chiefs for the 2025 season. The 26-year-old played one game during the 2025 regular season, rushing four times for 10 yards.

Dameon Pierce: Cut by Philly, likely bound for PS
Pierce was let go by the Eagles on Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce failed to make Philadelphia's 53-man roster, but the Eagles would like to add him to their practice squad if he doesn't get a chance on a roster elsewhere. The 2022 fourth-round pick of the Texans has been unable to recapture the magic of his rookie campaign, when Pierce rushed for 939 yards in the regular season. He has only 745 regular-season rushing yards across three subsequent campaigns.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Back at practice Monday
Pierce (hamstring) participated in Monday's training camp practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Pierce has been held out of practice the last two weeks after picking up a hamstring injury. He's progressed enough in his recovery to return to on-field work, putting him on track to play in Friday's preseason finale against the Bengals. Pierce, Will Shipley and Carson Steele are battling for a depth spot in the Eagles' backfield, with Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby currently listed as the top running backs on the depth chart.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Absent with hamstring issue
Pierce (hamstring) did not participate in Monday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Pierce exited Saturday's practice with a hamstring injury, and it is unclear how long the running back will be absent due to the issue. With Elijah Mitchell (undisclosed) having been placed on injured reserve Monday, the team signed Ja'Quinden Jackson to further cement the running back room throughout the preseason. Currently, the No. 2 role behind Saquon Barkley is up for grabs, with Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and Pierce fighting for snaps. If Pierce misses significant time, his chances of starting the season as the No. 2 back figure to diminish.

Eagles' Dameon Pierce: Joining Eagles backfield
The Eagles have signed Pierce to a one-year deal.
Pierce, who logged a combined 14 carries for 36 yards in five regular-season contests (four with the Texans and one with the Chiefs) in 2025, has seen his workload decrease in each of his last three seasons following his rookie campaign with Houston in 2022, during which recorded 220 carries in 13 games. With the Eagles, he'll compete with Tank Bigsby and Will Shipley for complementary backfield touches behind top back Saquon Barkley.
