Bears | Artavis Pierce added to practice squad Tue Oct 5, 06:35 PM
Free-agent RB Artavis Pierce was signed to the Chicago Bears practice squad Tuesday, Oct. 5.
| Footballguys view: The Bears are going to be without David Montgomery for about a month as he deals with a hyperextended knee injury. They've got Damien Williams as the starter and intriguing rookie Khalil Herbert now moves up the depth chart as well. Pierce gives them another body at the position in case more injuries strike. |

| Footballguys view: The Patriots are looking for help in the backfield but are likely just updating their emergency list here. James White is out indefinitely with a hip problem, and the team has Brandon Bolden, J.J. Taylor and rookie Rhamondre Stevenson to help pick up the slack. |

Bears | Artavis Pierce has a chance Fri Aug 28, 10:26 AM
Chicago Bears RB Artavis Pierce is the most traditional running back behind RB David Montgomery (groin), who is out two to four weeks. 'He's quicker than fast,' one national scout said. 'I didn't see the timed speed on tape. He plays more in the 4.5 range, which is fine. He has speed through the hole through to the second level, and that's what is most important. He moves well laterally. But this kid isn't going to break tackles like Montgomery. Not a pass catcher, at least how they utilized him. He might have a chance.'
| Footballguys view: Pierce could lead a split backfield in touches in Week 1 against Detroit, although if David Montgomery is going to miss extended time, the Bears would likely look to the free agent list for help. Pierce should at least be on deep dynasty radar now. |

Bears | Artavis Pierce cleared to return Sun Aug 2, 06:59 PM
Chicago Bears RB Artavis Pierce was activated from the Reserve/COVID-19 list Sunday, Aug. 2. The Bears also waived RB Napoleon Maxwell.
| Footballguys view: Pierce is a speed back who can catch passes. They picked him up as an undrafted free agent out of Oregon State this year and he's a long shot to make the final roster. Pierce could be bound for the practice squad if he impresses in practice. |

Bears | Three RBs may fight for one spot Sat Jun 27, 03:39 PM
Chicago Bears RBs Napoleon Maxwell, Ryan Nall and Artavis Pierce may compete for one roster spot during training camp.
| Footballguys view: The 'Wrecking Nall' has been with the team since he came into the league as a UDFA from Oregon State in 2018. He may be the favorite because of his experience but it's not much. Nall only played eight snaps last year over three games for the Bears. He's a big, power back who can grind down defenses. Compare this to Pierce, another Beavers UDFA (2020), who is a speed back who can catch passes. Maxwell is also more likely to be used as a receiver than Nall. This competition will work itself out in training camp. |
