Cleveland is signing Pierce to the practice squad Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce joins a Browns team that was forced to operate without Kareem Hunt (ankle) during Monday's loss to the Steelers. Though he spent most of the season on Chicago's practice squad, Pierce only suited up for one contest, Week 6 against Green Bay.

Pierce was released from Chicago's practice squad Tuesday, per the NFL's transaction log.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce has been on the Bears' practice squad for most of the season but has now been cut. He's appeared in one game this season and doesn't have a rush attempt.

Pierce reverted to the Bears' practice squad Monday, the NFL's official transaction log reports.
EDGE Analysis
He was a gameday elevation for Sunday's loss to the Packers and returned one kickoff for 27 yards. David Montgomery (knee) is on injured reserve, so Pierce could be promoted again for Week 7 if Damien Williams (COVID-19) is forced to miss another game.

Pierce was elevated to the active roster Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce is expected to provide valuable depth at running back with Damien Williams on the reserve/COVID-19 list and Ryan Nall (ankle) listed as questionable for Sunday's divisional contest. The second-year running back played in five games with the Bears last season but primarily was a special teams player.

Chicago re-signed Pierce to the practice squad Tuesday, Kevin Fishbain of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce spent time with the Bears during the offseason, and he now joins Ryan Nall among the team's backfield options on the practice squad. With David Montgomery (knee) evidently destined to miss time, Chicago needed to make moves to bolster depth.

Pierce has been released from the Bears' practice squad.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce joined Chicago's practice squad after being waived during the team's roster cut-downs in advance of Week 1. The 25-year-old, who logged six carries for 34 yards and a TD in five games with the Bears in 2020, could find his way back on the team's practice squad again down the road, if he doesn't catch on elsewhere in short order.

Pierce was waived by the Bears on Tuesday, Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune reports.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce had 17 carries for 89 yards in the three preseason games, but he wasn't able to nab a spot on Chicago's season-opening roster. The team hopes to retain the 25-year-old via the practice squad if he passes through waivers unclaimed.

Pierce rushed eight times for 27 yards in the Bears' 27-24 preseason win over the Titans on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce played with the deep reserves in the second half, and with Khalil Herbert getting significant run with the second-team offense earlier in the contest, Pierce may be behind Herbert in his quest to make the regular-season roster.

Pierce rushed four times for 12 yards and caught two passes for eight yards in Chicago's 41-15 preseason loss to the Bills on Saturday.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce worked with the backups with his highlight being a 10-yard run. After seeing just six rushing attempts over four games on the active roster as part of Chicago's injury-depleted backfield last year, he's likely competing with this year's six-round draft choice, Khalil Herbert for a roster spot this preseason.

Pierce lost one yard on his only rushing attempt in Chicago's 35-16 loss to the Packers on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Pierce appeared in just four games this season, rushing six times for 34 yards and a touchdown, and after the Bears complete their playoff run, he'll return in 2021 for the last year of his contract, and he'll likely be fighting for a roster spot as a depth option in the backfield.
