Texans' Woody Marks: Limited at practice Wednesday
Marks (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice, Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal reports.
In this past Sunday's 44-22 win over the Chargers, Marks played on 66 percent of the Texans' snaps on offense, while carrying 18 carries times for 70 yards and catching one of his four targets for four yards. He's been working as the team's clear-cut RB1 in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), who didn't practice Wednesday, with further context regarding the the backfield duo's Week 10 status on track to arrive no later than Thursday's practice report.

Texans' Woody Marks: Logs 19 more touches in Week 9
Marks turned 18 carries into 70 yards and hauled in just one of four targets for four yards during Sunday's 44-22 road win over the Chargers.
Marks acted as the Texans' primary running back for a fourth straight game, three of which David Montgomery has missed completely due to a groin injury. During that stretch, Marks has racked up 75 touches for 321 yards from scrimmage, but he has yet to reach the end zone since Week 4. Montgomery wasn't able to practice this week, so Marks may be in line for another role as Houston's No. 1 backfield option next Sunday at Cleveland if the former doesn't make the requisite progress in his recovery.

Texans' Woody Marks: Set for RB1 work
With David Montgomery (groin) again ruled out for Week 9, Marks is expected to remain the Texans' clear RB1 for Sunday's game against the Chargers, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Even with the Texans coming out of their bye week, Montgomery still isn't ready to return to the lineup. Additionally, Jawhar Jordan (quad) is also still out for Houston. With both backs sidelined in Week 7 against the Giants, Marks handled all 19 running-back carries for the Texans. The volume alone puts Marks in the RB1/2 conversation for fantasy this week.

Texans' Woody Marks: Racks up 20 touches in Week 7
Marks rushed 19 times for 66 yards and caught his only target for 15 yards in Sunday's 27-21 overtime loss to the Giants.
Mark remained busy in the absence of David Montgomery (groin), handling 20 touches while no other running back got a touch for the Texans. Over the last three games, the first of which Montgomery left early and the last two of which he missed, Marks has recorded 247 scrimmage yards on 56 touches. Marks missed some action in the second half Sunday due to a leg injury but returned to the game. Houston's Week 8 bye will give both Marks and Montgomery a chance to heal up, and Houston would likely return to a backfield platoon in Week 9 against the Chargers if Montgomery's ready to play.

Texans' Woody Marks: Back in Sunday's game
Marks (leg) returned to Sunday's contest against the Giants, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Marks visited the sideline tent in the third quarter but was able to get back on the field in the fourth after having his left leg examined in the medical tent. He'll continue to power the Texans backfield with David Montgomery (groin) inactive for a second straight game.

Texans' Woody Marks: Departs Sunday's game
Marks visited the sideline tent during Sunday's contest against the Giants due to an apparent left leg injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Marks walked off the field without a noticeable limp late in the third quarter to be examined. The Texans have only one other healthy running back (Dare Ogunbowale) on the game-day roster with David Montgomery (groin) sidelined for a second game in a row.

Texans' Woody Marks: Set to lead backfield again in Week 7
Marks is lined up to start at running back against the Giants on Sunday with David Montgomery (groin) ruled out.
With Montgomery sidelined this past Sunday against Jacksonville in London, Marks put up a 15-56-0 rushing line while catching two of three targets for 25 yards. That production was very similar to the previous week versus Tennessee, when Marks played the bulk of Houston's offensive snaps due to Montgomery's early exit and posted a 15-62-0 rushing line along with a 4-23-0 receiving line. Montgomery has yet to practice since getting hurt, so it's possible Marks could lead the backfield again Week 8 versus the Chargers, though next week's practice reports will shed more light on that scenario.

Texans' Woody Marks: Leads backfield with 81 scrimmage yards
Marks carried the ball 15 times for 56 yards and caught two of three targets for 25 yards in Sunday's 34-31 win over the Jaguars.
With David Montgomery (groin) inactive, Marks led the Texans backfield in touches and scrimmage yards, but practice-squad elevation Jawhar Jordan arguably made a bigger splash with 43 rushing yards and a touchdown on just six carries. Jordan showed some upside late last season when pressed into duty as well, so even if Montgomery's absence continues, Marks could see his workload shrink. Marks will take on the Giants in Week 7.

Texans' Woody Marks: Lead role awaits sans Montgomery
Marks is expected to handle a lead role out of the backfield during Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London after Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans announced Monday that fellow running back David Montgomery (groin) is viewed as week-to-week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Montgomery logged just nine snaps in the Texans' 26-3 win over the Titans in Week 5 before departing with the injury, which cleared the way for Marks to see his heftiest workload of the season. The second-year player out of USC ended up taking the field for 56 of 66 snaps, finishing with 62 yards on 15 carries to go with four catches for 23 yards on four targets. With Montgomery on track to miss at least the London game and potentially additional contests beyond that, Marks should have a decent chance at replicating his Week 5 touch count. Beyond Marks, Dare Ogunbowale is the only other healthy running back on the 53-man roster, while Jawhar Jordan and Deuce Vaughn loom as potential candidates to be elevated from the practice squad to add depth to the position group amid Montgomery's expected absence.

Texans' Woody Marks: Takes over starting duties in Week 5 win
Marks carried the ball 15 times for 62 yards and caught all four of his targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans.
The 19 touches and 85 scrimmage yards were season highs for Marks, and the added volume came after David Montgomery left the game in the second quarter due to a groin strain and didn't return. Marks has been trending toward taking on a larger share of the load anyway as a result of Montgomery's ineffectiveness, but if the veteran back is forced to miss any additional time, the decision on who the Texans' No. 1 RB is would be made for coach DeMeco Ryans. Through five games, Marks has 149 rushing yards and two TDs along with an 11-54-0 line through the air on 13 targets, but his 3.5 yards per carry is a reflection of the offensive line's struggles. If he does take on the top job in the backfield in Week 6, it'll come against a very stingy Jaguars run defense.
