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.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Two touches in win
Dare Ogunbowale gained eight yards on two carries in Sunday's 41-21 win over New England in Week 6.As expected, Ogunbowale (18 snaps) experienced a drop in playing time and touches due to the returns of both Joe Mixon and Dameon Pierce. Ogunbowale, who operates as a pass-catching back on third downs, was on the field more than Cam Akers (two snaps).

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Gets 21 touches in Week 5 win
Dare Ogunbowale rushed 15 times for 30 yards and caught six of seven targets for 57 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Bills.Ogunbowale got a look as the lead back with Houston looking to get its running game going in the absence of Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring). While Ogunbowale performed well as a pass catcher, Cam Akers was the team's most effective option on the ground, turning his nine carries into 42 yards and a touchdown. Ogunbowale's slow day as a rusher included being stuffed on fourth-and-1 in the red zone when the Houston Texans were looking to build on an early 14-3 lead. Even if Mixon or Pierce are cleared to return in Week 6 against the Patriots, Ogunbowale should continue to play in passing situations, but he's unlikely to get so many opportunities on the ground again.

Texans' Dare Ogunbowale: Big day as receiver
Dare Ogunbowale caught all four of his targets for 47 yards and a touchdown and added two carries for seven yards in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars.The veteran depth RB had his most productive day as a pass catcher since he posted a 5-54 line on seven targets in Week 7 of the 2022 campaign, and Ogunbowale got to play hero Sunday by catching a one-yard TD from C.J. Stroud late in the fourth quarter for the game-winning score. Ogunbowale's increased role on offense came with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) both sidelined, and he could return to being primarily a special-teams contributor in Week 5 against the Bills if either or both injured backs are able to rejoin the lineup.
