Eagles Release Running Back Dameon Pierce via Injury Settlement

Eagles Release Running Back Dameon Pierce via Injury Settlement

The Philadelphia Eagles have released running back Dameon Pierce with an injury settlement, the team announced Saturday. The transaction was reported by Eagles Wire's Glenn Erby.

Pierce, who joined the Eagles organization earlier this season, departs Philadelphia after a brief stint. The injury settlement allows both the player and team to part ways while addressing any lingering health concerns that may have affected his availability.

The move opens a roster spot for the Eagles as they continue to shape their backfield depth heading into the latter portion of the 2026 NFL season. Philadelphia's running back room currently features a mix of veteran presence and developing talent as the team navigates its offensive strategy.

Pierce will now become a free agent and can sign with any team once he clears the settlement process. The 26-year-old running back previously spent time with the Houston Texans before joining the Eagles organization.
