Dameon Pierce Practicing Again Thursday

Dameon Pierce Practicing Again Thursday

one year ago

Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce (knee) was practicing for the second straight day on Thursday and seems fine, according to KPRC2's Aaron Wilson. Pierce was listed as a limited practice participant on Wednesday and will likely be listed the same on Thursday. The second-year back had 25 carries for 108 yards in the Week 4 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers and didn't appear to get injured in Sunday's game, so the Texans are likely just taking it easy on him this week. Barring a surprise downgrade on Friday, Pierce seems likely to play in Week 5 on the road in Atlanta against the Falcons. As long as he's active this weekend, Pierce should remain locked into starting fantasy lineups as an RB2 in what has been a surprisingly productive Texans offense through the first four weeks. UPDATE: Pierce practiced in full on Thursday.
