Dameon Pierce: Eagles place running back on injured reserve

THE FACT. Philadelphia placed Pierce on injured reserve Wednesday after he left Monday night's game in the fourth quarter, per NBC Sports' Charean Williams, who notes the Eagles did not disclose the injury. He will miss at least four games and is the fourth Eagles running back placed on injured reserve this season.

THE VERDICT. Redraft: drop him. Thirty-seven carries for 96 yards and two touchdowns across three games was never a startable profile, and a four-game minimum absence closes it out. The bigger story is the room around him: four Philadelphia running backs on injured reserve makes this the league's most churned backfield, and the Eagles signed Jaydon Blue from the practice squad as the corresponding move. Deep-league managers should read Eagles practice reports all week rather than guess at the order.
