Texans' Dameon Pierce: Gets garbage-time snaps
Pierce had seven carries for 21 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over the Ravens in Week 5.
Active for the first time since Week 1, Pierce played a season-high 16 snaps, and all his carries came in the fourth quarter after Houston built a 41-10 lead. Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are clearly at the top of the depth chart, and it's unclear why head coach DeMeco Ryans would make Pierce active following three consecutive healthy scratches.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: In uniform Sunday
Pierce is active for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
Pierce is back in the Texans' RB mix in Week 5, but with Nick Chubb, Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks also on hand, it remains to be seen what sort of snap share/volume Pierce might see Sunday. In one game thus far, Pierce has logged three carries for five yards.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive Sunday
Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans.
With Pierce a healthy scratch once again, Nick Chubb and Woody Marks are poised to lead Houston's Week 4 backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks also available to mix in.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive Sunday
Pierce is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
With Pierce and British Brooks healthy scratches Sunday, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks are available to work behind Nick Chubb versus Jacksonville. Pierce is off the fantasy lineup radar until or unless injuries hit Houston's backfield.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Inactive for MNF
Pierce is inactive for Monday night's game against the Buccaneers.
With Pierce a healthy scratch, Dare Ogunbowale, Woody Marks and British Brooks are available to work behind Nick Chubb in the Texans' Week 2 backfield. In Houston's season-opening 14-9 loss to the Rams, Pierce logged just seven snaps on offense en route to carrying three times for five yards and not hauling in his only target.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Expected to be inactive for MNF
Pierce is expected to be a healthy scratch for Monday's game against the Buccaneers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce played just 12 percent of the offensive snaps Week 1, rushing three times for five yards while failing to catch his only target, and he's now expected to be held out entirely Week 2. That would pave the way for British Brooks to be active versus Tampa Bay, joining Dare Ogunbowale as depth backfield options behind Nick Chubb, with Joe Mixon (foot) still on the reserve/non-football injury list. The Texans will make Pierce's status official about 90 minutes ahead of Monday's 7:00 p.m. ET kickoff.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Minimal run in opener
Pierce had three carries for five yards and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 14-9 loss to the Rams in Week 1.
With Joe Mixon (foot) on the reserve/non-football injury list, there were opportunities for the healthy backs, but Pierce was granted just seven snaps. Nick Chubb (32 snaps) got the bulk of the work, while Dare Ogunbowale (17) operated as the third-down back and was on the field in obvious passing situations, particularly late in the game as Houston attempted a comeback. There's not much to read into Sunday's game other than that the Texans offense under new offensive coordinator Nick Caley was a disappointment.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Early work in preseason finale
Pierce had seven carries for 17 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.
While Pierce getting work in the final preseason game might suggest the veteran is on the wrong side of a roster bubble, it's understandable given the quadriceps injury that impacted his first two weeks of camp. This was his lone preseason appearance, as Houston head coach DeMeco Ryans may have wanted to see him in game action, given the nebulous state of No. 1 back Joe Mixon, who is on the active/non-football injury list with an ankle injury and not a lock to be ready for Week 1. Mixon's health leaves Pierce and Nick Chubb as co-leaders in the backfield. Chubb made one preseason appearance last week against the Panthers, when Pierce was held out as a precaution.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Not expected to play Saturday
Pierce, who got a rest day during Thursday's joint practice with the Panthers, is expected to be held out of Saturday's preseason game against Carolina, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Pierce has recently split first-team reps with Nick Chubb when not receiving a rest day, but the Texans appear to be taking a cautious approach to his workload, given that a quad injury kept him on the active/PUP list until Aug. 4. With Joe Mixon (foot) still on the active/non-football injury list and not set to be re-evaluated until closer to the start of the regular season, Pierce is competing with Chubb and rookie fourth-rounder Woody Marks for a potentially significant Week 1 opportunity.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Splits first-team reps
Pierce (quadriceps) was a full practice participant Tuesday for the first time at training camp, splitting first-team reps with Nick Chubb, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce was on the PUP list until Aug. 4, but he has still time to make his case for the Week 1 starting job in the event Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) isn't ready. Chubb and passing-down back Dare Ogunbowale have taken most of the first-team reps during training camp, with rookie fourth-round pick Woody Marks lingering as another candidate for playing time in the regular season. Pierce is thus left in an odd position, with no guarantee of a roster spot even though he has some chance to open the season as a starter. A lot will depend on Mixon's health and the team's opinion on whether Chubb has regained some of his pre-surgery explosiveness.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Passes physical, off PUP list
Pierce (quadriceps) passed a physical Monday and was activated from the active/PUP list, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce opened training camp on the PUP list due to an undisclosed injury, which Wilson revealed to be a strained quad. The running back was described as going high speed on the side during Monday's practice, per DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com, and that activity was enough for him to pass a physical. Houston's No. 1 RB Joe Mixon currently is on the active/non-football injury list due to the combination of ankle and foot issues, and he's slated to be evaluated again closer to the regular season. If his recovery extends into September, Pierce could be in the mix for touches in Week 1 alongside Nick Chubb and rookie fourth-round pick Woody Marks.
