DAMEON PIERCE NEWS

Back at practice Pierce (ankle) was present for Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Pierce didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but the running back's presence on the field Friday offers hope that he could potentially return to the mix Sunday against the Cardinals. The Texans' upcoming injury report will add further context to Pierce's Week 11 status, but if he's available versus Arizona, he could re-enter the mix in a time-share with Devin Singletary, who's coming off a 150-yard rushing effort in Week 10.

Still not practicing Pierce (ankle) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Back-to-back absences set the stage for what (if anything) Pierce does Wednesday to provide key context regarding the running back's chances of returning to action Sunday against the Cardinals. If Pierce is forced to miss his third straight game this weekend, Devin Singletary would once again be in line to lead the Texans' backfield in Week 11.

Not at practice Pierce (ankle) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Another absence from practice suggests Pierce is in danger of missing a third straight game when the Texans face the Cardinals this Sunday. There's also the matter of what kind of role Pierce might be returning to once he's ready, after Devin Singletary erupted for 150 rushing yards in a 30-27 win over the Bengals this past Sunday.

Remains sidelined Thursday Pierce (ankle) didn't practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Pierce also missed Wednesday's session, so what the running back is able to do Friday will be telling in terms of his chances of playing Sunday against the Bengals. If Pierce remains out this weekend, Devin Singletary would continue to handle the bulk of the Texans' backfield touches in Week 10.

Modest numbers against Carolina Pierce carried the ball 12 times for 46 yards in Sunday's 15-13 loss to the Panthers.

Impact Despite a matchup with one of the league's weaker run defenses, Pierce failed to average at least 4.0 yards a carry for the seventh straight game this season. Devin Singletary saw an equivalent workload (10 carries and two receptions) and also did little with his opportunities, so the Houston backfield remains an unappealing mess from a fantasy perspective. Pierce will try to get something going in Week 9 against the Buccaneers.

Confident running game will improve Pierce said Friday that this season has been like another rookie year for him, but he currently feels "amazing" and believes the Texans are "really close" to establishing a success...

Impact Pierce doesn't exactly sound frustrated; he appears to be acknowledging that he's had a tough adjustment period under new offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik, who has overseen a productive offense overall under the leadership of rookie quarterback C.J. Stroud. The running back didn't mention being frustrated with his role or usage, though fantasy managers have some cause for concern after Devin Singletary received just one fewer carry than Pierce (13 to 12) in Houston's final game before its Week 7 bye. Pierce likely will remain the starter this Sunday at Carolina and anticipates the Texans having a much more efficient rushing game during the second half of the season. A healthier offensive line certainly should help, especially relative to September, when the Texans often had three or four of their five preferred starters out of the lineup.
