Woody Marks

Texans HC DeMeco Ryans didn't sound concerned about RB Woody Marks' ankle injury after Sunday's win over the Cardinals. Woody could ve came back in the game," Ryans said. "But for where he was, got his ankle tweaked a little bit early in the game, for where he was, felt like Jawhar [Jordan] & Dare [Ogunbowale] were doing a really good job. So just wanted to keep rolling with those guys to make sure Woody is good as we continue to go into the week. Marks' fantasy owners sure would have preferred he not sat out the final 2.5 quarters of the game. But it at least sounds like he has a chance to be ready for Week 16's meeting with the Raiders. We'll keep you posted on the rookie's status.

Marks exited Sunday's game against the Cardinals with anankle injury.

Marks had seven carries for 30 yards before leaving, adding a "fumble recovery" touchdown in the box score. Marks is on the sideline jogging and doesn't seem like he is certainly done for the day, though he doesn't have his helmet. Jawhar Jordan has been Houston's main changeup back today with Dare Ogunbowale also mixing in behind Marks.

Texans RB Woody Marks is questionable to return to Sunday's game vs. the Cardinals with an ankle injury. He went into the medical tent in the first quarter, returned, but then exited again in the second. We'll update Marks' status when we know more. His absence leaves the backfield to Jawhar Jordan, Dare Ogunbowale, and British Brooks.

Marks is expected to serve as the Texans' lead back in Sunday's game against the Cardinals with Nick Chubb (ribs) inactive for the contest, Sam Warren of the Houston Chronicle reports.
