Overview
- Philadelphia announced the agreement on March 19, adding Pierce on a one-year contract after his late-2025 stint with the Chiefs.
- Pierce, 26, broke out as a 2022 rookie in Houston with 939 rushing yards and four touchdowns after being drafted in the fourth round.
- Houston waived him in November 2025, Kansas City signed him to the practice squad three days later, and he logged one game with 4 carries for 10 yards.
- He appeared in four games for the Texans and one for the Chiefs in 2025 with just 28 offensive snaps, following a preseason quad injury and a reduced role.
- He enters a backfield headed by Saquon Barkley alongside Tank Bigsby, Will Shipley and Carson Steele, with return experience that could factor into roster competition after A.J. Dillon’s exit.
