By Peter Dewey
Houston Texans running back Dameon Pierce reportedly will return to action in Week 12 after missing the team’s last three games with an ankle injury.
#Texans RB Dameon Pierce, who hasn't played since late October with an ankle injury, is expected to play today, source says. He was a full participant this week and was listed as questionable.

This is great news for the Texans, as they’ll have both Pierce and Devin Singletary in action on Sunday. This is a huge game for Houston, as a win would put it in first place in the AFC South.

Best Houston Texans prop bet for Week 12 vs. Jaguars
Dameon Pierce OVER 28.5 rushing yards
While Pierce is coming off an injury and Singletary has played well, I still think the second-year back goes over his rushing total this week.
Pierce has more than 28.5 rushing yards in every game he’s played in this season, and I don’t see his role decreasing so much where he doesn’t see enough carries to clear this prop.
Jacksonville has a tough run defense, but Pierce should be a solid bet at his discounted number.

Dameon Pierce injury history
Last season, Pierce was placed on injured reserve in December after going down with an ankle injury.
That’s led to the team being cautious with him so far this season since he’s missed the last three games with an ankle injury. Devin Singletary has filled in with back-to-back 100 yard games for Houston.
