The Houston Texans on Wednesday ruled out running back Dameon Pierce for Thursday night’s game at the New York Jets with a groin injury.
In a corresponding move, the Texans elevated running back JJ Taylor to the active roster. Dare Ogunbowale will be the primary backup to starter Joe Mixon.
The Texans also ruled out pass rusher Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), safety Jimmie Ward (groin) and backup offensive lineman Jarrett Patterson (concussion) for Thursday.
Pierce has played in just four games, having dealt with a hamstring injury earlier this season. He has 14 carries for 98 yards and a touchdown on the season.
Pierce started 13 games as a rookie with the Texans in 2022, rushing for 939 yards and four TDs. He also had 30 catches for 165 yards that season.
