Dameon Pierce

Texans RB Dameon Pierce (ankle) is questionable for Week 2 against the Bears.

The Texans went with Pierce as Joe Mixon’s backup in Week 1 and made Cam Akers a healthy scratch. Pierce didn’t appear on the injury report to start the week but was limited on Thursday and then downgraded to DNP on Friday. It looks like he suffered the injury during practice and is now at risk of missing Week 2. Akers would take on the RB2 role if Pierce is ruled out.
