The Eagles are elevating Dameon Pierce from their practice squad to the active roster, per NFL insider Jeremy Fowler. The move addresses depth issues in Philadelphia's running back group, which has been hampered by injury.
Saquon Barkley is expected to miss at least one game due to a hamstring injury. Pro Football Talk and Yahoo Sports reported that the signing is meant to bolster the Eagles' ailing backfield, though the outlets did not provide additional detail on other personnel moves. Pierce, 26, was drafted in the fourth round by the Texans out of Florida in 2022.
