Texans' Dameon Pierce: Misses another practice
Pierce (hamstring) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Fellow RB Joe Mixon (ankle) also wasn't practicing for a second consecutive day, which clouds the duo's status as Sunday's game against the Bills approaches. If neither of them are available this weekend, Cam Akers once again would be in line to lead Houston's backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale, British Brooks and practice squad member J.J. Taylor also in the mix versus Buffalo.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Not practicing yet
Pierce (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce was present at practice and wearing a jersey, but he didn't have his helmet and didn't end up participating in drills. With Joe Mixon (ankle) also absent again Wednesday, the Texans had Cam Akers, Dare Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor taking backfield snaps, as was the case during Sunday's win over Jacksonville.

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.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Still not practicing
Pierce (hamstring) wasn't present for the initial portion of Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
As a result, Pierce's status for Sunday's game against the Jaguars remains cloudy. On the plus side for the Texans, Joe Mixon (ankle) was on the field Friday, suggesting that he may be closer to a return to action than Pierce. Houston's upcoming injury report thus is slated to add further context with regard to the composition of the team's Week 4 backfield. In the absence of both Mixon and Pierce last weekend, Cam Akers drew the start at running back versus Minnesota.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Making progress, still no practice
Pierce (hamstring) is not practicing Thursday but the Texans are increasingly optimistic about his recovery progress, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce hasn't yet been cleared to resume practicing and has now missed two sessions this week, but Houston's coaching staff appears to be optimistic that the third-year pro will return to action soon. With Joe Mixon (ankle) also still sidelined, things could be trending toward Cam Akers getting another chance to start Sunday versus the Jaguars. Pierce will have one more chance to get on the practice field before receiving a game designation for Week 4.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Not at practice
Pierce (hamstring) isn't taking part in practice Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Joe Mixon is also not involved in Wednesday's practice after sitting out a Week 3 loss at Minnesota with an ankle injury. Pierce missed the past two games after injuring his hamstring during a Week 2 practice, and the continued absences suggest he's in danger of missing a third straight game Saturday against Jacksonville, though Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported earlier Wednesday that Pierce is expected back this week. Cam Akers filled in as the starter and lead runner in the 34-7 loss to Minnesota, but he didn't get any snaps on third downs or in the fourth quarter, with the negative game script having a major impact on his workload.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Out again Week 3
Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings.
Pierce will miss a second consecutive game after failing to practice in any capacity during the week. With Joe Mixon (ankle) listed as doubtful, Cam Akers looks poised to lead Houston's backfield Sunday, with possible increased roles for Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Remains sidelined Thursday
Pierce (hamstring) didn't participate in practice Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
With both Pierce and Joe Mixon (ankle) poised to log back-to-back DNPs, what, if anything, they are able to do Friday will be telling with regard to their chances of facing the Vikings on Sunday. In the event that both are unavailable this weekend, Cam Akers would be in line to lead the Texans backfield versus Minnesota, according to Wilson.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Still not practicing
Pierce (hamstring) is not participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce is dealing with a mild hamstring strain, per Wilson. The injury popped up during practice last Thursday, and after being limited in that session, Pierce has been a non-participant in the Texans' two practices since. With Joe Mixon (ankle) also not practicing and considered day-to-day, Pierce could see significant opportunity if he manages to get healthy in time for Sunday's road game against Minnesota.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Won't play Sunday
Pierce (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday night's game against the Bears.
After missing Friday's practice, Pierce was deemed questionable for the Texans' Week 2 contest. With the running back unavailable versus Chicago, Dare Ogunbowale, Cam Akers and British Brooks are available to handle backfield snaps that don't go to top back Joe Mixon.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Officially questionable for Week 2
Pierce (hamstring) did not practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bears.
Pierce missed Friday's practice after a hamstring issue restricted him to a limited session Thursday. His status may not be made official until roughly 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff, but after he handled just three carries Week 1 compared to Joe Mixon's 30, Pierce is unlikely to be considered in most fantasy lineups even if he's active. Dare Ogunbowale, British Brooks and Cam Akers could handle expanded reserve roles Sunday if Pierce is ruled out.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Not spotted at Friday's practice
Pierce (hamstring) is not present at the portion of Friday's practice open to the media, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Pierce popped up on the injury report Thursday as a limited practice participant, and it looks like he'll be downgraded to DNP on Friday. That bodes poorly for the backup running back's chances of suiting up Sunday night versus the Bears. Joe Mixon is firmly entrenched as Houston's starter, but Dare Ogunbowale, British Brooks and Cam Akers will all be options to pick up depth snaps if Pierce can't go.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Limited in practice Thursday
Pierce (hamstring) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
Pierce is a new addition to the injury report Thursday due to a hamstring issue. The extent of the backup running back's practice activity Friday will shed further light on his chances of playing Sunday night versus Chicago, as will his official injury designation for Week 2. Dare Ogunbowale, British Brooks and Cam Akers will be candidates for increased work behind starter Joe Mixon if Pierce misses any time.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Distant second on depth chart
Pierce had three carries for 16 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1.
There was little uncertainty that Pierce would back up Joe Mixon, but the disparity in their workloads was a little jarring. Mixon was on the field for 59 snaps compared to Pierce's nine, which was actually fewer than Dare Ogunbowale (13). However, Pierce and Mixon were the only running backs to carry the ball. As long as Mixon stays healthy, there may not be a path to much fantasy value for Pierce.
