The Philadelphia Eagles have bolstered their backfield by reaching an agreement with former Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce on a one-year deal, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. The move adds a proven veteran presence to the Philadelphia roster as they continue to shape their offensive depth chart for the upcoming season.
Pierce joins the Eagles after a tenure in Houston that began with a standout rookie season in 2022, where he rushed for 939 yards and four touchdowns. While his role diminished during the 2023 season, the former Florida Gator remains a physical runner known for his ability to break tackles and contribute in short-yardage situations.
The addition of Pierce provides the Eagles with an experienced option behind their current starters. Financial terms of the one-year agreement have not yet been disclosed. The signing marks another strategic move by the Philadelphia front office to ensure backfield stability.
