Texans' David Montgomery: Still sidelined at practice
David Montgomery (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Still seemingly being viewed as week-to-week after he failed to practice in any fashion last week before sitting out the Houston Texans' win over the Jaguars in London, Montgomery appears to be trending toward another absence this weekend against the Giants. If Montgomery ends up missing another contest, Woody Marks would be in line for another turn as Houston's lead back, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad member Deuce Vaughn operating as depth options.

Texans' David Montgomery: Ruled out for London game
The Houston Texans ruled David Montgomery (groin) out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London.After making an early exit from the Texans' Week 5 win over the Titans due to the groin injury, Montgomery was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday. He'll stay behind in Houston while the Texans make the trip overseas and will set his sights on a return to action Week 7 against the Giants. With Montgomery set to miss his first game of the season, Woody Marks should be in store for a sizable workload once again after handling 19 touches and playing 56 of 66 offensive snaps in Week 5.

Texans' David Montgomery: Remains sidelined for practice
David Montgomery (groin) didn't practice Thursday.Since being labeled week-to-week by head coach DeMeco Ryans on Monday, Montgomery has sat out the Houston Texans' ensuing two practices. Unless he's able to take part in Friday's practice in some fashion, Montgomery will likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. Woody Marks looks poised to handle a workhorse role out of the backfield Week 6 with Montgomery expected to be inactive for the first time this season.

Texans' David Montgomery: Sitting out Wednesday's practice
David Montgomery (groin) isn't practicing Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Montgomery made an early exit from the Houston Texans' Week 5 win at Tennessee due to a groin injury, which head coach DeMeco Ryans since has called a "week-to-week" concern for the running back, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. As a result, Montgomery's lack of activity Wednesday isn't a surprise, and Houston ultimately could make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game in Jacksonville when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Woody Marks is lined up to lead the backfield for as long as Montgomery is sidelined.

Texans' David Montgomery: Considered week-to-week
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that David Montgomery (groin) is considered week-to-week, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.Montgomery exited Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans midway through the second quarter due to the groin injury and was unable to return. Based on Ryans' comments a day later, Montgomery looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season Week 6, when the Texans travel to London to face the Jaguars on Sunday. Montgomery's expected absence in Week 6 should clear the way for Woody Marks to take on a lead role out of the Houston backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad members Jawhar Jordan and Deuce Vaughn representing candidates to handle depth roles. Since scoring three touchdowns on 23 touches in a Week 1 loss to the Bills, Montgomery has failed to find the end zone while being limited to 78 yards on 32 carries (2.4 average) and four catches for 48 yards over the Texans' subsequent four contests.

Texans' David Montgomery: Bottled up in Week 4 loss
David Montgomery carried the ball 10 times for 24 yards and added 19 receiving yards on a hook-and-ladder play in Sunday's 34-30 loss to the Cowboys.The veteran RB's longest gain on the ground went for only six yards, and Woody Marks scampered for the Houston Texans' only rushing TD of the afternoon on a six-yard run just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter -- a score set up by Montgomery's 19-yard dash following a lateral from Dalton Schultz just one play before. Montgomery hasn't found the end zone himself or reached 50 scrimmage yards since Week 1, a streak he'll look to end in a Week 5 road trip to Tennessee.

Texans' David Montgomery: Running lanes not materializing
David Montgomery rushed 11 times for 33 yards while catching both of his targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts.Montgomery was stuffed for no gain on a 4th-and-1 in Colts territory in the first quarter, and he watched Woody Marks convert a one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Marks has 29 touches to Montgomery's 44 through three games, and it's concerning that Montgomery isn't monopolizing short-yardage opportunities after scoring three short TDs in the season opener. Neither running back has found much running room behind Houston's underwhelming offensive line, and Montgomery is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry heading into a Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.

Texans' David Montgomery: Stymied in Week 2 loss
David Montgomery rushed six times for 10 yards and brought in both his targets for 14 yards in the Houston Texans' 20-6 loss to the Bengals on Sunday.Neither Montgomery nor backfield mate Woody Marks was able to make any inroads against what looks to be a vastly improved Bengals run defense, although after also being held to 3.0 yards per carry in Week 1, it's clear Montgomery's early issues with efficiency can at least partly be blamed on the Texans' offensive line. Montgomery also saw Marks outpace him by two carries and four targets, yet that may have been largely a function of a game script that saw Houston in catch-up mode. Montgomery should revert back to a lead role in a Week 3 road divisional clash against the Colts next Sunday.
