Dameon Pierce Injury: Looks good working on side

Pierce (undisclosed) worked off to the side in Monday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Bien-Aime adds that Pierce's movements looked good. Pierce can't rejoin his teammates at practice until he's activated from the active/PUP list. Once he's cleared for action, Pierce will look to earn a prominent role in a Texans backfield with a murky pecking order among Pierce, veteran Nick Chubb and rookie fourth-round pick Woody Marks behind injured starter Joe Mixon (foot/ankle), who is expected to be evaluated again near the start of the regular season.
