Eagles Agree on One-Year Deal With Dameon Pierce

Thursday, March 19, 8:36 AM

The Philadelphia Eagles announced on Thursday that they agreed to terms on an undisclosed one-year deal with free-agent running back Dameon Pierce. The 26-year-old was originally drafted in the fourth round (107th overall) by the Houston Texans in 2022 out of the University of Florida. He had 1,648 rushing yards and eight rushing touchdowns on 405 rushing attempts in his first three years in the league with Houston before spending 2025 with Houston and the Kansas City Chiefs. Pierce saw only 14 rushing attempts last year for 36 yards. He has not been able to replicate his rookie season in 2022, when he ran for 939 yards and four touchdowns on a career-high 220 rushing attempts. In Philly, Pierce will compete for the RB3 duties with Will Shipley, behind starter Saquon Barkley and Tank Bigsby. For now, he remains off the fantasy radar in all formats.

Kenny McIntosh Begins Training Camp on PUP List

Monday, July 20, 12:34 PM

Seattle Seahawks running back Kenny McIntosh was placed on the physically unable to perform list to open training camp, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. Safety Nick Emmanwori received the same designation. The second-year safety was a Defensive Rookie of the Year finalist after recording 81 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 11 passes defensed, 2.5 sacks, and one interception in 14 games. Both players can be activated at any point during camp once medically cleared. McIntosh is returning from the torn ACL he suffered last summer, an injury that cost him the entire 2025 season. His absence leaves him behind in a backfield that added first-round pick Jadarian Price and veteran Emanuel Wilson, while George Holani also returns. Zach Charbonnet is recovering from his own torn ACL. McIntosh remains outside the redraft picture and is only a deep dynasty hold until he returns to practice and shows where he fits in Seattle's crowded backfield.
