  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Four touches in playoff loss

    Pierce had four carries for 10 yards and failed to hold onto his lone target in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round loss to Kansas City.

    Pierce played 14 snaps in a minimal role behind starter Joe Mixon, as was the case all season when both backs were healthy. It'll be status quo in 2025, as both he and Mixon are under contract for next season. It will be Pierce's final season under his rookie contract, and he'll become an unrestricted free agent in 2026. He ended the regular season with 40 carries for 293 yards and two touchdowns over 11 games played. As a receiver, Pierce caught two of four targets for two yards.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Limited duty in wild-card round

    Pierce had two carries for 15 yards in Saturday's 32-12 victory over the Chargers in the wild-card playoff round.

    Pierce had a monster day in Week 18 of the regular season, when Joe Mixon was limited to one series, but he reverted back to his usual minimal role in the opening round of the playoffs, logging just six snaps. The addition of Mixon was expected to limit Pierce's usage, and it played out way, as the latter was on the field for just 16.1 percent of the offensive snaps this season and carried the ball 40 times over 11 games played. He's under contract for another season but so is Mixon, so Pierce is likely headed for another season with a marginal role.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Massive game against Titans

    Pierce rushed the ball 19 times for 176 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Titans. He didn't catch either of his two targets.

    Pierce played nearly the entire game with Joe Mixon pulled early in the contest for rest. Pierce made the most of his opportunity, highlighted by a 92-yard touchdown run early in the second quarter. He had totaled only 21 carries entering Sunday's regular-season finale, and he isn't projected to play much of a role in Houston's wild-card round matchup against the Chargers.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: Five touches in loss

    Pierce had five carries for 13 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore in Week 17. He also returned one kickoff for 45 yards.

    Pierce, whose five carries were his most since Week 6, has been marginalized since starting running back Joe Mixon returned from an injury. With just one game left in the regular season and Houston having clinched a spot in the playoffs, Pierce could see more usage in Week 18 if head coach DeMeco Ryans opts to limit starters.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: No impact in win

    Pierce did not have a carry or a kick return in Sunday's 20-12 win over the Dolphins in Week 15.

    Pierce, who was on the field for seven offensive snaps, hasn't had a carry since Week 11. Since returning from a groin injury that cost him two games, Pierce has played just 18 offensive snaps with one carry and one target. Any meaningful impact he makes will have to come as a returner, barring an injury to Joe Mixon.

  • Texans' Dameon Pierce: One touch in win

    Pierce caught his lone target for one yard in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13. He did not get a carry or return a kickoff.

    Joe Mixon (47 snaps, 20 carries, six targets Sunday) owns the Texans' backfield, leaving nothing but crumbs for Pierce (seven snaps) and Dare Ogunbowale (nine). Pierce has just four carries and one target in his last five appearances.
