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.

Chiefs' Dameon Pierce: Makes Week 18 appearance
Pierce totaled four rushes for 10 yards during Sunday's 14-12 defeat versus the Raiders.
Pierce signed on with the Chiefs' practice squad in late November, three days after being cut loose by the Texans. He was signed off the practice squad roster before Week 16 but remained inactive for both Weeks 16 and 17 before logging four carries for 10 yards in the season finale. The fourth-year running back should hit the open market again this offseason with hopes of earning a home on a 53-man roster somewhere next season.

Chiefs' Dameon Pierce: Remains inactive in Week 17
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Thursday night's contest against the Broncos.
Pierce will be a healthy scratch for the second straight week after the team officially signed him to the active roster. He'll have one more chance to make his Chiefs debut in Week 18 against the Raiders.

Chiefs' Dameon Pierce: Inactive for Week 16
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
Pierce was signed to the Chiefs' active roster Saturday but will not suit up for Sunday's road tilt, as Kansas City rolls with a three-man backfield in Kareem Hunt, Isiah Pacheco and Brashard Smith. Pierce's next opportunity to play is Christmas Day against the Broncos.

Chiefs' Dameon Pierce: Joins active roster
The Chiefs signed Pierce off their practice squad Saturday.
The fourth-year pro from Florida signed with Kansas City's practice squad in late November and has now joined the active roster. Pierce appeared in four games with the Texans this season, rushing 10 times for 26 yards while also accumulating 92 kick-return yards. Now with the active roster, the 25-year-old will likely play a depth role in the Chiefs' backfield during Sunday's matchup against the Titans.

Dameon Pierce: Signs with Kansas City
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: Set to join Chiefs' practice squad
Pierce is expected to be signed to the Chiefs' practice squad, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce was waived by the Texans on Thursday, and he now appears to have found a new home in Kansas City. The running back has turned 10 carries into 26 yards over four games with Houston this year, and he'll look to impress with the Chiefs. The transaction won't become official until Monday, at the earliest.

Dameon Pierce: Time up with Texans
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: Healthy scratch Week 11
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Pierce will be a healthy scratch for the second time in three games. His next opportunity to play is Thursday against the Bills, though he's unlikely to be active for that contest unless Woody Marks, Nick Chubb or Dare Ogunbowale were to miss time.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive Sunday
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
The running back is now a healthy scratch for the fifth time in eight games this season. Nick Chubb and Woody Marks continue to hold down Houston's backfield. Pierce has played on just 23 offensive snaps this year, carrying the ball 10 times for 26 yards and no scores.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Serves as returner in Week 8
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 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.
