Texans RB Woody Marks returned Saturday after missing Week 16 with an ankle injury that also knocked him out of the previous game early. He handled 19 of 28 RB carries in the win over the Chargers, taking them for 71 yards (3.7 per rush). Marks also ran all 16 backfield pass routes and drew the only two RB targets. He caught one for 4 yards.

Texans RB Woody Marks is expected to be inactive for today's game against the Raiders, according to multiple reports. He has been dealing with an ankle injury that limited him to only Friday's practice and officially left him questionable.

Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) missed practice again on Thursday. HC Demeco Ryans downplayed Marks' injury earlier this week, but he didn't return to the Cardinals game and has now missed the first two practices of the week. He's not a lock to play this Sunday, especially with the Texans 14.5-point favorites over the Raiders. RB Nick Chubb (ribs) was a full-go on Thursday and looks set to play against Las Vegas. We could be looking at a Chubb, Jawhar Jordan, and Dare Ogunbowale backfield in that one. We'll update Marks' status again tomorrow.

Texans RB Nick Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable for this weekend’s game vs. the Cardinals. He only got in a limited practice on Friday. RB Woody Marks (knee) is off the final injury report after a full practice on Friday. The rookie will control backfield work on Sunday regardless, but Chubb’s absence would only help Marks’ fantasy outlook.

Texans RB Nick Chubb (ribs) did not practice on Wednesday. He never returned to Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs and is in real danger of missing this weekend's game vs. the Cardinals. Chubb's absence would mean even more work for RB Woody Marks, who racked up 26 carries and 3 targets in Kansas City. Marks missed Wednesday's practice and is on the injury report with a knee, but it was likely a maintenance day. We'll update this backfield again tomorrow.

Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday. He briefly exited vs. the Colts with this injury but was able to return and finish out the game. Marks should be available for Sunday night's game vs. the Chiefs, but we'll keep you updated on his status. His absence would turn RB Nick Chubb into a low-level fantasy option.

Woody Marks rushed a career-high 19 times for 64 yards and caught his only target for 3 yards in Houston's 20-16 victory over the Indianapolis Colts. Marks briefly exited the game with a foot injury but returned to play 41 of the Texans' 76 snaps (54%).

Texans RB Woody Marks suffered a foot injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Colts. He's officially questionable to return. Marks' absence leaves Nick Chubb as Houston's lead back. We'll update the rookie's status when we know more.

Update: Marks returned midway through the second quarter.

Texans RB Nick Chubb (foot) is not listed on the final injury report after putting in a full practice on Friday. He should be ready for his usual committee role alongside RB Woody Marks in this weekend’s game vs. the Jaguars.

Texans RB Nick Chubb (foot) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should have him on track to play vs. the Jaguars this weekend, but we'll see how he's listed on the final injury report tomorrow.

Texans RB Woody Marks (calf) is off the final Week 9 injury report. He was added on Thursday and limited in practice but returned to a full workout on Friday. Marks should be ready for his usual committee role alongside RB Nick Chubb vs. the Broncos on Sunday.

Texans RB Woody Marks was added to the injury report with a calf and limited in Thursday's practice. That likely means the calf started giving him trouble today. We'll look for further updates on the rookie and see if he's able to practice tomorrow. Marks' absence would boost RB Nick Chubb's Week 9 fantasy value.

Texans GM Nick Caserio said Tuesday that RB Joe Mixon is "making progress" with his ankle injury. "Over the next few weeks, we’ll have a better idea," Caserio added. It's the first positive report we've heard on Mixon since July. Fantasy managers still should not be counting on Mixon this season, but it at least sounds like there's a chance we see him on the field at some point. That would complicate matters for RBs Woody Marks and Nick Chubb.

Texans GM Nick Caserio wouldn't say Wednesday whether RB Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) will play at all this year. "We'll see, we'll take it one day at a time," Caserio said. Mixon will miss at least the first four games of the season on the reserve/non-football injury list. "Once we get through four weeks, we'll evaluate it at that time," Caserio added.

The Houston Texans have placed RB Joe Mixon (ankle) on the reserve/non-football injury list, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. He’ll miss at least the first four games.

Texans RB Joe Mixon hasn't been on the field in a while, and we've seen alternating reports of ankle injury and foot injury. So which is it? Seems like some sort of combo.

Texans RB Nick Chubb missed practice on Wednesday. Chubb "took a hard shot to the head" on Tuesday and was checked for a concussion, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. In his place, Dameon Pierce – who recently missed time with a quad injury – saw first-team reps. We'll see when Chubb returns to the field. Currently, the former Brown cracks the top-50 of our updated RB rankings.

Texans RB Joe Mixon is expected to miss "an extended period of time with a frustrating foot injury," according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Mixon has been dealing with an injury for much of the offseason, but it was previously reported as a right ankle. It's unclear if this is a separate injury, or if the initial reporting was bad. Regardless, it sounds like Mixon will miss all of training camp, and "there's a chance" he won't available for Week 1, per Rapoport. Mixon "will be re-evaluated closer to the season to determine his availability," Rapoport adds.

Insider Aaron Wilson hears that Texans RB Joe Mixon is expected to be ready "at some point" during training camp. Mixon aggravated the right ankle injury he suffered last September while working out on his own this offseason, according to Wilson. He was in a walking boot in early June but has now graduated to a soft brace, Wilson adds.

Browns RB Nick Chubb broke his left foot in Sunday's loss to the Chiefs, HC Kevin Stefanski said afterward. That will end Chubb's 2024 season after just eight games, although it shouldn't threaten his readiness for the start of the 2025 campaign. Of course, it's just another lower-body injury for a guy who's suffered a pair of devastating knee injuries. Chubb turns 29 later this month. His absence leaves Jerome Ford as Cleveland's likely lead back the rest of the way. He averaged 9.6 carries and 4.6 targets across five healthy games without Chubb at the beginning of this season.
