Dameon Pierce Elevated to Active Roster Amid Injuries

The Philadelphia Eagles are signing running back Dameon Pierce to the active roster from the practice squad to bolster an injury-depleted backfield. Pierce joins Will Shipley as healthy running backs on the active roster following injuries to Saquon Barkley, who is expected to miss at least Week 5 with a hamstring issue, and Tank Bigsby, who suffered a core muscle injury requiring surgery. Pierce previously spent three seasons with the Houston Texans.
