Texans' Dameon Pierce: Decreased snap count in loss
Pierce rushed twice for two yards and returned one kickoff for 42 yards in Sunday's 24-22 loss to Green Bay.
Pierce dropped from 18 snaps last week to just seven Sunday. His higher usage in Week 6's win over New England was attributable to the blowout nature of the game, and that it was starter Joe Mixon's first game back after missing four games due to an ankle injury. Mixon was on the field for 42 snaps Sunday, limiting Pierce to a marginal role in the backfield along with Dare Ogunbowale (15 snaps, one carry, one target).

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Scores 54-yard TD in return
Pierce (hamstring) rushed eight times for 76 yards and a touchdown while catching his only target for one yard in Sunday's 41-21 win over the Patriots.
Pierce's return from a hamstring injury that had sidelined him since Week 1 coincided with Joe Mixon's (ankle) first action since Week 2. Mixon reclaimed the lead role and scored two touchdowns before Pierce broke off a 54-yard touchdown run to round out the scoring in the fourth quarter. Pierce immediately reclaimed the No. 2 role from Dare Ogunbowale and Cam Akers, but it would likely take another injury to Mixon for Pierce to earn double-digit touches moving forward. With Mixon healthy for a Week 7 road game against the Packers, Pierce will likely be left trying to make the most of limited opportunities again.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: No Week 6 injury designation
Pierce (hamstring) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Pierce, who hasn't played since Week 1, is poised to return to action Sunday after logging full practices Thursday and Friday. In his looming return, Pierce's Week 6 fantasy upside hinges largely on the availability of Joe Mixon (ankle), who is listed as questionable but trending toward being available versus New England, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Full practice participant
Pierce (hamstring) was a full practice participant Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Pierce is ready to play for the first time since Week 1, while Joe Mixon (ankle) remains uncertain for Sunday's game against the Patriots after returning to practice as a limited participant Thursday. If Pierce plays and Mixon doesn't, it could mean Pierce stepping in ahead of Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale as the temporary leader of Houston's backfield.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Limited session Wednesday
Pierce (hamstring) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.
Meanwhile, Houston's lead back, Joe Mixon (ankle), didn't practice. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, head coach DeMeco Ryans expects Pierce to be back in action for Sunday's game against the Patriots after the third-year back missed each of the last four games. Assuming Pierce is available Week 6, a key role could be in the offing for him if Mixon remains sidelined. With Pierce and Mixon having missed multiple games, Cam Akers and Dare Ogunbowale have been sharing Houston's backfield duties.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Trending toward return
Pierce (hamstring) was spotted at practice Wednesday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Pierce, who hasn't played since Week 1, returned to practice last Friday, and his presence at Wednesday's session is a positive indicator with regard to his Week 6 status. While Joe Mixon (ankle) remained sidelined for the Texans' opening practice this week, head coach DeMeco Ryans told Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston that he expects Pierce to be back in the fold for Sunday's game against the Patriots. Pierce thus could move into a key role in Houston's backfield this weekend if Mixon is unavailable.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Won't play Sunday
Pierce (hamstring) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Pierce practiced Friday for the first time since sustaining a strained hamstring ahead of Week 2 action and approached the contest listed as questionable. With both Pierce and Joe Mixon (ankle) still sidelined, look for Cam Akers to continue to lead Houston's backfield versus Buffalo, with Dare Ogunbowale a candidate to see change-of-pace work and J.J. Taylor and British Brooks available to provide the Texans with Week 5 backfield depth.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Likely to miss another week
Pierce (hamstring) is listed as questionable but isn't expected to play in Sunday's game versus Buffalo, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pierce hasn't played since Week 1, when he logged just nine offensive snaps and carried three times for 16 yards against Indianapolis. His return Sunday would be well-timed since Joe Mixon has been ruled out for a third straight week due to ankle injury, but Pierce doesn't look as though he'll be able to help buoy the Texans' running back corps. Cam Akers is likely to lead Houston's backfield again, with Dare Ogunbowale serving as his primary backup. Official word on Pierce's status will arrive when the Texans release their inactive list 90 minutes prior to Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Returns to practice, questionable
Pierce (hamstring) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after logging a limited practice Friday.
Pierce practiced Friday for the first time since sustaining a strained hamstring in the middle of Week 2 prep, thus giving him a chance to bolster the Texans' Week 5 backfield depth, with Joe Mixon (ankle) still out. If Pierce does suit up this weekend, it remains to be seen how much work he'd be in line to see, with Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston having noted earlier Friday that Cam Akers has been preparing to start for the third consecutive contest.
