Texans RB Pierce Leaves Game With Injury

Dameon Pierce, the Texans' running back, exited the Week 7 game against the Cowboys in the fourth quarter due to an undisclosed injury. The incident occurred during a kickoff return, prompting his immediate removal from the field and transport to the locker room. Pierce had been productive before his departure, accumulating 47 rushing yards and scoring one touchdown on 14 carries. He also added one reception for one yard.

His injury left his immediate return uncertain, especially with less than six minutes remaining in the game. The situation also put a strain on the team's depth at the running back position. This follows a similar injury concern for Saquon Barkley, who was previously listed as questionable with a back issue.
