The Texans released RB Joe Mixon, according to multiple reports. Mixon requested the move, and the team probably had no issue obliging considering how the last 12 months played out. Mixon suffered a foot injury away from the team last offseason and missed the entire 2025 campaign. The move saves Houston $8 million in cap space.
Texans RB Jawhar Jordan (ankle) missed his second straight practice on Friday, casting doubt on his availability for Monday night's Wild Card game vs. the Steelers. Jordan has emerged as Houston's No. 2 RB. His absence would be a slight boost to RB Woody Marks' projection. We'll see how Jordan is listed on Saturday's final injury report.
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 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.
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.
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) is off the final injury report. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited Thursday to full participation on Friday. Marks should be ready for his usual lead role vs. the Chiefs on Sunday night.
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 Joe Mixon (foot) is not expected to return this season, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That's seemed pretty clear for a while now, but it's nice to get confirmation. We still know very little about the offseason foot injury that will evidently cost Mixon the entire 2025 campaign. He's signed with Houston next year, but Rapoport notes that the team can save $8.5 million in cap space by releasing Mixon after the start of the 2026 league year. Mixon will turn 30 in July and is not a must-hold on dynasty rosters. Rookie Woody Marks figures to operate as Houston's clear lead back the rest of the season.
Texans RB Woody Marks suffered a right leg injury in the first quarter of Sunday's game vs. the Jaguars. He appeared to grab at his Achilles as he tried to get off the field, but we'll update the rookie's status when we learn more.
