Eagles Make Move at RB Amid Saquon Barkley Injury Concerns
The Eagles are adding a former Texans running back with Saquon Barkley questionable for Week 5 and Tank Bigsby on injured reserve.
The Philadelphia Eagles have made a move to bolster their rushing attack in light of injuries to Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. In a bid to provide depth to their running back corps, the team has added Dameon Pierce to their 53-man roster. Pierce, who was cut by the Texans last season, saw a surge in his career in 2022 when he rushed for 939 yards and four touchdowns as the Texans' primary back.
Now, after being waived by the Chiefs, Pierce has signed a one-year deal with Philadelphia. Pierce's one-year stint with the Eagles could give Will Shipley, who usually thrives in the receiving role, a chance to showcase his running ability.
