Dameon Pierce: Everything you need to know

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.

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.

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.
