Houston Texans coach Lovie Smith has seen the improvement from rookie running back Dameon Pierce over the first two games.
Pierce took 11 carries for 33 yards in the 20-20 tie with the Indianapolis Colts in Week 1 at NRG Stadium. As the Texans prepared for Week 2, Smith indicated he wanted the fourth-rounder from Florida to be more involved in the Texans’ Week 2 tilt with the Denver Broncos.
