Eagles release ex-Chiefs RB in Week 9 before 2026 NFL trade deadline
The Philadelphia Eagles released former Kansas City Chiefs RB Dameon Pierce on November 6 ahead of the 2026 NFL trade deadline.
On November 6, the Philadelphia Eagles released former Kansas City Chiefs running back Dameon Pierce, according to reports from KPRC 2 in Houston. Pierce, who entered the NFL as a fourth-round pick in 2022, spent his rookie season with the Chiefs after a three-year tenure with the Houston Texans. Signed to a one-year contract with Philadelphia in March, Pierce briefly found himself out of the team's lineup after training camp before being reassigned to their practice squad.
The Eagles released Pierce with an injury settlement, as reported by Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2. Kansas City, with standout performances from Super Bowl LX MVP Kenneth Walker III and rookie Emmett Johnson, likely has no need for a new running back, but Pierce's status will be monitored by Chiefs fans if the team faces a sudden need for a capable rusher later in the season.
