Pierce was listed on Wednesday's practice report as "limited" with a chest/should injury. Doesn't seem to be at much of a risk for missing the next game, but I'm curious to see how it may restrict his otherwise angry running style.
Rex Burkhead is still listed behind Pierce on the depth chart, but if Pierce were to miss any carries at all, sure would be nice to see Dare Ogunbowale take them instead of Rex. Ogunbowale had those 5 late receptions for 54 yards against the Raiders three weeks ago, then basically nothing the next two games against the Titans and Eagles.
Also, Brandin "Chamin Soft" Cooks finished pouting about not being traded and attended practice this week. Will be interesting to see how involved he is in the gameplan. I wonder too how his teammates feel about his absence last week.
