Bernard Pierce, who spent time with the Jets in training camp, worked out for them on Wednesday, as Rich Cimini of ESPN.com tweets. The Jets are banged up at running back with injuries to Matt Forte and Bilal Powell. Pierce could help fill the gap for the team’s season finale and, theoretically, this could be an opportunity for him to audition for the 2017 roster.

Pierce also auditioned for the Jets on Dec. 13, but that tryout didn’t lead to a deal. Same goes for his workouts for the Seahawks and Broncos. All year long, the veteran has been looking for an NFL home, but he has not seen the field in 2016.
The 25-year-old showed potential as a rookie in 2012 with the Ravens, averaging 4.9 yards per carry on 108 attempts. He spent another two seasons with Baltimore but his performance was up-and-down in his reserve role. In 2015, he hooked on with the Jaguars and totaled just six carries for 11 yards. It remains to be seen whether he can still be a contributor in the NFL.
