Dameon Pierce Returns to Houston Texans Lineup After Hamstring Injury

Dameon Pierce, the running back for the Houston Texans, is set to return to the lineup after a hamstring injury that kept him sidelined since Week 1. Pierce suffered the injury during the Texans’ game against the Indianapolis Colts but has now completed a full week of practice, paving the way for his return against the New England Patriots in Week 6.

Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud expressed his excitement about Pierce’s return, highlighting the hard work Pierce has put in to recover. “It is really big, I am very happy for ‘DP’ [Dameon Pierce] he has worked really hard to come back,” Stroud said. “It is not easy to be injured and he has done a good job of just trusting the plan of the training staff. He looks great at practice and hopefully he has a great game. I know he will, he has been working really hard and he is really motivated so it is really big for us.”

The return of Pierce comes at a crucial time for the Texans, who are still uncertain about the status of another key running back, Joe Mixon, for the same game. Mixon’s availability is questionable, making Pierce’s return even more significant for the team’s offense.

In his first game back, Pierce made a significant impact, rushing for a 54-yard touchdown against the New England Patriots, a performance that has been noted by fantasy football enthusiasts and fans alike.
