Texans' Dameon Pierce: Struggles continue in return
Pierce (ankle) rushed five times for 14 yards and caught his only target for four yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars.
In his return from a three-week absence, Pierce finished with one fewer carry and four fewer rushing yards than Devin Singletary. While Singletary was hardly better on the ground, he contributed 54 receiving yards, which is almost double Pierce's season-high receiving total of 28 yards from back in Week 3. Pierce has just 341 rushing yards on 114 carries (3.0 YPC) and only one scrimmage touchdown in eight appearances heading into a Week 13 visit from the Broncos.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Returns from three-game absence
Pierce (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Pierce missed the Texans' last three games due to a high-ankle sprain and was listed as questionable heading into Sunday, but there was no real mystery with regard to his Week 12 status after he put in full practices Wednesday through Friday. Whether Pierce reclaims the lead role out of the backfield he held through the Texans' first seven games of the season is less certain, however, especially after Devin Singletary accounted for 305 total yards and two touchdowns on 70 touches (65 carries, five receptions) over the past three games while proving to be far more efficient than Pierce, who is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry on the season. Per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Wednesday that he believes in "sharing the load" between Pierce and Singletary, but it's unclear what exactly the breakdown of work between the two backs might look like.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Appears set to return Sunday
Pierce (ankle) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Jacksonville, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Pierce has missed three straight games due to an ankle injury and came into this weekend deemed questionable to play, but he appears to have shown enough improvement to suit up against the Jaguars. That doesn't necessarily mean that he'll return to a lead-back role, however. In addition to Pierce potentially needing some time to settle back in following the injury and multi-week absence, Devin Singletary may have put himself in position to hold onto the starting job by racking up 262 rushing yards and two touchdowns over the past two weeks. Pierce had been struggling prior to going down with the injury, averaging just 3.0 yards on 109 rushes and scoring just once through seven games.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Takes questionable tag into Sunday
The Texans list Pierce (ankle) as questionable for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
Though Pierce has missed the Texans' last three games and is taking a designation into Sunday, he appears on track to play after he was listed as a full practice participant Wednesday and Friday. Assuming Pierce is cleared ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff, he could be relegated to sharing work out of the backfield with Devin Singletary, who averaged 4.4 yards on 65 rushing attempts while catching five passes for 17 yards and scoring twice while operating as Houston's lead back the past three weeks. Pierce, meanwhile, is averaging just 3.0 yards per carry over seven appearances this season, with his lack of efficiency costing him playing time even before he sustained the ankle injury. Given the uncertainty of what his workload might look like Sunday, Pierce doesn't profile as an appealing option in fantasy lineups for Week 12.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Returns to full practice
Pierce (ankle) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Pierce missed a third straight game this past Sunday against the Cardinals, but he appeared to take a step forward leading up to that contest, as he was able to return to practice Friday as a limited participant. He's now opened Week 12 prep as a full participant, signaling that he's moved past the ankle issue and is on track to suit up Sunday against the Jaguars. Though Pierce has served as Houston's starting running back in each of his seven appearances this season and could take the first snap against Jacksonville, Pierce may be the starter in name only. According to Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle, Texans offensive coordinator Bobby Slowik said Wednesday that he believes in "sharing the load" out of the backfield between Pierce and Devin Singletary, who served as the team's lead back over the past three weeks. Considering that Singletary averaged 5.0 yards per carry and scored two touchdowns on 52 totes over the past two games, any timeshare arrangement is seemingly more likely to tilt in his favor, given the extent to which Pierce struggled prior to missing time. Pierce has averaged just 3.0 yards per carry over seven appearances this season, ranking last in the NFL among all players with more than 60 carries.

Texans' Dameon Pierce: Practicing again
Pierce (ankle) is taking part in practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Pierce returned to practice last Friday as a limited participant before missing a third straight game in Sunday's loss to the Cardinals. He's on track to be ready for an AFC South battle with Jacksonville on Sunday, though he probably won't be returning to a lead role after Devin Singletary put forth Houston's two best rushing performances of the season the past two weeks.
