The Philadelphia Eagles have released running back Dameon Pierce via an injury settlement, the team announced on Saturday.
Pierce, who joined the Eagles earlier this season, was placed on injured reserve before being waived with the settlement. The move clears a roster spot for Philadelphia as they continue to navigate their backfield depth.
The 24-year-old running back previously played for the Houston Texans before signing with the Eagles. Terms of the injury settlement were not disclosed.
