The Houston Texans have made significant roster changes ahead of their upcoming game against the Buffalo Bills. This includes the notable release of running back Dameon Pierce.
Texans Part Ways with Dameon Pierce
Dameon Pierce, a fourth-round draft pick in 2022, is no longer with the Texans. This decision comes as the team prepares for their Thursday night matchup.
Career Highlights and Recent Performance
During his rookie season, Pierce was a standout for the Texans, leading the team with 939 rushing yards. However, his playing time has diminished over the past seasons.
- 2022 Season: Led team with 939 rushing yards.
- 2023 Season: Currently has 10 carries for 26 yards and one touchdown.
- Position: Third option behind Devin Singletary and Woody Marks.
Roster Adjustments
The release of Pierce is part of a broader strategy by the Texans to optimize their roster. In a corresponding move, the team signed cornerback Ajani Carter to the active roster.
Additionally, the Texans have temporarily elevated two players from their practice squad:
- Safety Jalen Mills
- Linebacker Jackson Woodard
As the Texans look to strengthen their lineup, these roster moves reflect their ongoing effort to adapt and improve in the current season.
