Dameon Pierce Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

Dameon Pierce Misses Practice With Ankle Injury

one year ago

Houston Texans Pro Bowl alternate running back Dameon Pierce (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday due to an ankle injury, according to a league source. His status for Sunday's Week 9 contest against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers is still being determined. The Texans will see where Pierce is at as the week progresses. Fantasy managers should consider the 23-year-old second-year back to be firmly up in the air to play this weekend. If he's out or limited against Tampa, Devin Singletary would enter the fantasy picture as an RB3/flex, with Mike Boone likely serving in a change-of-pace role in Houston's backfield. Pierce ended up playing only 43 percent of the offensive snaps in the Week 8 loss to the Carolina Panthers and had 12 carries for 46 yards. He has been a big disappointment in his sophomore campaign and is averaging a meager 3.0 yards per carry through seven games played.
