Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: No touches in loss
Dare Ogunbowale did not have a carry and went untargeted over 13 snaps in Sunday's 32-27 loss to Tennessee in Week 12.Ogunbowale was the lone running back not named Joe Mixon to see time on offense, as Dameon Pierce worked on special teams only. That doesn't suggest Ogunbowale is the top backup to Mixon however, as Pierce would likely be the lead back in case Mixon were injured or unavailable.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Lining up as top backup Week 10
Dare Ogunbowale is expected to serve as the top backup to Joe Mixon in Week 10, as Dameon Pierce (hamstring) has been ruled out of Sunday night's game against the Lions.Pierce will miss a second consecutive week, ceding the depth spots in the backfield to Ogunbowale and J.J. Taylor. There may not be much for either back to do, unless Mixon sustains an injury; in the Week 9 loss to the Jets, Ogunbowale and Taylor combined for four touches and three targets (no catches).

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Quiet as top backup
Dare Ogunbowale had one carry for minus-1 yards and failed to catch any of his three targets in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets.Ogunbowale was Houston's top backup at running back but did little in his 29 offensive snaps. With a healthy Joe Mixon, no backup would be expected to do much on the ground, but it was as a receiver where Ogunbowale could have made an impression. However, Houston's offensive line allowed pressure to quarterback C.J. Stroud, which made for a disjointed passing attack.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Might be in line for backup role
Dare Ogunbowale could serve as the top backup running back in Thursday's game against the Jets, as Dameon Pierce (groin) did not practice Tuesday.Ogunbowale would move up the depth chart if Pierce is unable to heal in time for Thursday's game. He filled in earlier this season when both Pierce and starter Joe Mixon missed time, with his most usage coming Week 5 versus Buffalo, when he handled 21 touches. That kind of volume is not expected for Ogunbowale at any point in the near future with Mixon back to full health, but the short week could present more opportunities for Ogunbowale if Pierce sits out.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: One touch in loss
Dare Ogunbowale had one carry for six yards and failed to catch his lone target in Sunday's 24-22 loss to the Packers.Ogunbowale (15 snaps) and Dameon Pierce (seven snaps, two carries) were barely involved in Joe Mixon's second game back from an ankle injury. With both Mixon and Pierce healthy, Ogunbowale is not needed much as a runner, but his third-down and special-teams duties keep him on the gameday roster.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Locked in as No. 3 back
Dare Ogunbowale became the No. 3 option on the depth chart at running back for the Houston Texans after Houston traded Cam Akers to Minnesota on Tuesday.The Texans found themselves with a deep backfield following the returns of Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce from multi-game absences due to injury in Week 6, so it made sense for Houston to part ways with Akers. Ogunbowale, who was on the field more than Akers last week, is seen as more of a receiving threat and provides greater versatility as a No. 3 back due to his ability to contribute on special teams.
