Texans' Woody Marks: Not practicing Wednesday
Woody Marks (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Marks missed the second half of Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona after tweaking a pre-existing ankle injury in the first half. Houston Texans coach Demeco Ryans downplayed the injury afterward, even suggesting that Marks could've returned if the game had been closer. Still, fantasy managers need to keep a close eye on the situation now that Marks is absent from practice to start the week, ahead of a matchup with the Raiders on Sunday. Nick Chubb, on the other hand, returned to practice Wednesday after missing Week 15 with a rib injury.

Texans' Woody Marks: Could have re-entered Sunday's win
Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that Woody Marks "could have come back in the game" after the running back exited early with an ankle injury during Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houson reports.Ryans said Marks "got his ankle tweaked a little bit there early in the game," but the Texans opted to keep the rookie running back on the sideline to "make sure [he] is good as we continue to go into the week." Those comments seemingly bode well for Marks' chances of gaining clearance for Week 16, when Houston will face a plus matchup at home against the Raiders. That said, the next tangible update on Marks' health may not arrive until the team resumes practicing Wednesday. Nick Chubb (ribs) was inactive versus Arizona, so if Marks isn't able to return versus Las Vegas, Jawhar Jordan could get a chance to follow up on his 101-yard performance against Arizona.

Texans' Woody Marks: Hurts ankle Sunday
Woody Marks exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals with an ankle injury and is questionable to return.Before his departure from the contest, Marks carried the ball seven times for 30 yards and caught his only target for eight yards. He also was credited with his sixth touchdown of the season on a strange play, when a goal-line snap went through C.J. Stroud's legs straight to Marks, who took it into the end zone on what was ruled a fumble recovery rather than a carry. If the running back ends up missing the rest of the game, Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Jordan are likely to assume most of the touches out of the backfield.

Texans' Woody Marks: Heightened role awaits
Woody Marks is expected to serve as the Houston Texans' lead back in Sunday's game against the Cardinals due to Nick Chubb (ribs) being inactive for the contest, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.Warren notes that Houston could have Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Jordan mix in for reps out of the backfield, but the lion's share of touches and snaps will likely fall to Marks. After Chubb departed early in this past Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs, Marks finished with an 87 percent offensive snap share and produced 76 total yards and a touchdown on a season-high 28 touches.

Texans' Woody Marks: Cleared to face Arizona
Woody Marks (knee) doesn't carry an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Cardinals after practicing fully Friday.Marks sat out the Houston Texans' first practice of the week Wednesday, but he upgraded to limited participation Thursday before taking every rep Friday. He'll be ready to play this weekend and could even end up taking on a larger share of the work out of the backfield if Nick Chubb (ribs) -- who is listed as questionable -- is out Sunday or available only in a limited capacity. After Chubb played just eight snaps before exiting the Texans' Week 14 win over the Chiefs, Marks went on to record a season-high 26 carries for 68 yards while adding two receptions (on three targets) for eight yards and a touchdown.

Texans' Woody Marks: Limited in practice Thursday
Woody Marks (knee) returned to a limited practice Thursday.Marks and fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) both logged 'DNPs' on Wednesday. Chubb also missed Thursday's session, which clouds his availability for Sunday's game against the Cardinals, while Marks' limited practice has him trending in the right direction for the contest. In any case, Friday's final injury report will reveal whether Chubb has a chance to play this weekend, as well Marks' official Week 15 game status.

Texans' Woody Marks: Not practicing Wednesday
Woody Marks missed Wednesday's practice due to an knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.Marks and Nick Chubb (ankle) both are absent after suffering injuries during Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. Chubb left the game in the first half and didn't come back, while Marks returned after missing just a couple of plays (one of which was a five-yard TD run by Dare Ogunbowale). While largely used as a passing-down specialist throughout this pro career, Ogunbowale could temporarily take over as Houston's lead runner if Marks and Chubb aren't ready for Sunday's matchup with Arizona. On the other hand, a return to practice Thursday/Friday would put Marks on track for the lead role again, this time in a favorable matchup with the ice-cold Cardinals defense.

Texans' Woody Marks: Huge workload in win
Woody Marks rushed the ball 26 times for 68 yards in Sunday's 20-10 win over the Chiefs. He added two receptions on three targets for eight yards and a touchdown.Marks was already well on his way to taking over the Houston backfield, but he had the chance to handle the entire workload after Nick Chubb suffered an injury to his ribs early in the second quarter. While it was an inefficient showing against a tough defense, Marks topped 20 carries for the first time in his rookie campaign, helping him reach at least 60 rushing yards for the fifth time in his last seven games. He also made the most of his work as a pass catcher, recording a nine-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter. Marks missed out on the chance for an additional score after he was forced off the field due to an injury midway through the fourth quarter, giving Dare Ogunbwale a goal-line carry. While Marks hasn't been overly efficient, he has earned at least 16 carries in each of his last four games, and his role would only become more secure if Chubb is forced to miss additional time.

Texans' Woody Marks: Set to play Sunday
Woody Marks (ankle) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game at Kansas City.After Marks began the week with no activity due to an ankle injury Wednesday, coach DeMeco Ryans told Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle that the rookie fourth-round pick was among a select few DNPs that was expected to be OK for Week 14 action. Marks then progressed to a limited session Thursday and all activity Friday, thereby clearing him to play Sunday. Since the Houston Texans' Week 6 bye, Marks has turned 110 touches into 441 yards from scrimmage and two TDs over the last seven contests, while fellow RB Nick Chubb notched 61 touches for 232 total yards and one TD during that span. As a result, Marks should retain a majority share of the backfield reps among the pair this weekend.
