Marks carried the ball 14 times for 17 yards and caught two of three targets for 19 yards during the Texans' 28-16 loss to the Patriots in the divisional round Sunday. He also lost a fumble.

Houston couldn't get much of anything going on the ground, and Marks' turnover was one of five by the Texans and eight in total by both teams in cold, wet conditions at Foxborough. Marks went the entire regular season without losing a fumble, so ball security shouldn't be an issue for him in 2026, and the fourth-round pick out of USC had a successful rookie campaign with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 16 regular-season games. It remains to be seen whether the Texans will look to expand his role next year or bring in a back more adept at running between the tackles to work in tandem with Marks.

Stevenson (eye) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Stevenson had exited the game due to an eye issue, but he was eventually able to return. He'll return to share backfield work versus Houston with fellow RB TreVeyon Henderson.

Marks (shoulder) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Marks had exited the contest to have his shoulder checked out, but he was subsequently deemed able to return to action. He'll continue to pace Houston's backfield in a game in which two of the team's top pass catchers, Nico Collins (concussion) and TE Dalton Schultz (calf), are unavailable.

Stevenson (eye) is questionable to return to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Texans, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Before sustaining an eye injury, Stevenson carried three times for 25 yards and caught his only target for nine yards. While he's out of the game, TreVeyon Henderson will lead the Patriots' backfield, with D'Ernest Johnson in reserve.

Marks exited Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots due to a shoulder injury.

Before his departure from the game, Marks carried eight times for seven yards and caught one of his two targets for six yards. While Marks is sidelined, Nick Chubb, Dare Ogunbowale and British Brooks are Houston's available backfield options.

Jordan (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots.

Jordan, who sat out this past Monday's wild-card win at Pittsburgh due to a high-ankle sprain that he sustained Week 18 against the Colts, had approached the contest without an injury designation, but the running back won't be available versus New England after all. In his continued absence, Woody Marks will continue to lead Houston's backfield Sunday, with Nick Chubb next up for carries.

McCaffrey rushed the ball 11 times for 35 yards in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round loss to the Seahawks. He added five receptions on six targets for 39 yards.

McCaffrey had a relatively muted stat line by his lofty standards, though he was one of the few players who was effective to any degree in the 49ers' offense. His longest gains from scrimmage all came as a receiver, as four of his five receptions went for at least eight yards. McCaffrey was limited as a rusher by the game script, and he was also forced to depart from the game on two separate occasions due to a stinger in his left shoulder. While it was a disappointing loss, McCaffrey turned in a standout effort for the campaign as a whole, logging 2,126 yards from scrimmage and 17 total touchdowns across 17 regular-season contests.

Walker rushed the ball 19 times for 116 yards and three touchdowns in Saturday's 41-6 divisional-round win over the 49ers. He added three receptions on three targets for 29 yards.

Walker split work out of the backfield to begin the game, but he ultimately saw an expanded role after Zach Charbonnet (knee) left the contest late in the second quarter. Walker played a key role in icing away the game, ripping off three runs of more than 10 yards while also finding the end zone from seven, 15 and six yards away. This marked Walker's highest rushing total of the 2025 season, and his 19 carries matched his season high. He could be in for another significant workload in the NFC Championship Game, should Charbonnet remain sidelined.

Charbonnet will get imaging done on his knee after departing Saturday's NFC divisional-round game against the 49ers, John Boyle of the Seahawks' official site reports.

Head coach Mike Macdonald was optimistic that Charbonnet's knee was structurally intact following Saturday's win against San Francisco. However, that will be confirmed through imaging. Charbonnet's status is seemingly up in the air for the NFC Championship Game, but there should be some additional clarity early in the week.

McCaffrey (shoulder) returned to Saturday's divisional-round game against the Seahawks, Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle reports.

McCaffrey missed two drives for the 49ers but was able to check back in midway through the third quarter after dealing with a stinger. He should serve as the team's lead back, though the injury may limit his reps.
