Texans GM Nick Caserio expects RB Dameon Pierce 'to be a big part of what we're doing'

Texans GM Nick Caserio expressed confidence in running back Dameon Pierce despite a disappointing second season. Pierce struggled in 2023, leading the team to acquire Joe Mixon and draft Jawhar Jordan. Caserio praised Pierce's work ethic and fitness, expecting him to play a significant role in the team's plans. While Mixon is the primary back, Pierce may see increased action if needed due to injuries. Caserio acknowledges the potential for Pierce to have a more prominent role in the upcoming season.
