Pierce, who missed this past Sunday's game with a strained quad, was able to practice Wednesday, the Baltimore Sun reports. It remains to be seen if Pierce will be listed as a full or limited participant Wednesday, but his return to practice would appear to put him on track to suit up Sunday against the Panthers. Assuming that's the case, Pierce could find himself in some form of a committee situation up his return, given the solid results turned in by Lorenzo Taliaferro and Justin Forsett in Pierce's Week 3 absence.
