Leads team in carries Pierce rushed eight times for 27 yards in the Bears' 27-24 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday.

Impact Pierce played with the deep reserves in the second half, and with Khalil Herbert getting significant run with the second-team offense earlier in the contest, Pierce may be behind Herbert in his quest to make the regular-season roster.

Impact Pierce worked with the backups with his highlight being a 10-yard run.

Impact Pierce appeared in just four games this season, rushing six times for 34 yards and a touchdown, and after the Bears complete their playoff run, he'll return in 2021 for the last year of his contract, and he'll likely be fighting for a roster spot as a depth option in the backfield.

Impact Pierce has just five carries over the four games he's played this season, and it's unlikely he'll have enough of a role in the offense to be a fantasy factor in Week 17 against the Packers.

Healthy scratch against Lions Pierce (coach's decision) is inactive for the Bears' Week 13 matchup against Detroit.

Impact Chicago's running back depth has been thin behind starter back David Montgomery ever since Tarik Cohen suffered a torn ACL on Sept. 27. Long-time receiver and special-teams guru Cordarrelle Patterson has been serving as the No. 2 option at the position, while Pierce remains with just three total carries on the 2020 campaign.

Minor role in loss Pierce had three carries for nine yards in Chicago's 19-13 loss to Minnesota on Monday.

Impact With David Montgomery sitting this game out with a concussion, Pierce was second on the Bears in rushing attempts behind Cordarrelle Patterson.

Impact The 24-year-old back out of Oregon State was called up to Chicago's 53-man roster Tuesday, though the Bears have elected to roll with David Montgomery and Ryan Nall as the team's only active RBs heading into Week 4. Cordarrelle Patterson may continue to get some run, as he already has 15 rush attempts through three games, but Pierce remains in search of his first NFL carry.
