Moving up from practice squad
The Eagles are expected to sign Pierce off their practice squad Wednesday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
With top back Saquon Barkley week-to-week with a hamstring injury and with Tank Bigsby (abdomen) landing on injured reserve Tuesday, the Eagles will bring Pierce aboard to provide the backfield with another healthy body to complement Will Shipley. Due to the fact that he was already on the 53-man roster, Shipley is the presumptive favorite to start this Sunday against the Jaguars in London, but it's not guaranteed that he'll garner the majority of the carries over Pierce, who is a prototypical early-down runner. Shipley should at least rank ahead of Pierce as the Eagles' preferred option on passing downs.
