Minimal use in win Chubb had one carry for one yard on five snaps in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers in Week 17.

Impact Chubb was impacted by the presence of Woody Marks (44 snaps), who returned to the lineup following two weeks of inactivity due to an ankle injury. A playing-time split that favored Marks is not surprising, but that Chubb finished behind Jawhar Jordan (11 snaps) is a more recent development, one that started Week 16. Chubb has just eight carries and one reception for a combined 46 yards from scrimmage over the last three games.

Raiders' potential draft dilemma: Winning games could cost them a chance at a franchise QB

The Raiders nearly pulled off a win against Houston on Sunday, losing 23-21 but showing their best performance in weeks

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • Associated Press

Gains 42 yards Sunday Chubb (ribs) took six carries for 33 yards and caught his only target for nine yards in Sunday's 23-21 win over the Raiders.

Impact Chubb returned from a one-game absence in time to help fill in for injured starter Woody Marks (ankle). Although it was Jawhar Jordan -- signed from the practice squad earlier this week -- who led the Texans in backfield touches (20) and total production (70 yards) Sunday. Chubb has been a shell of his former self while attempting to fill the void left by Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) in Houston's backfield this season, producing a 121-505-3 rushing line across 15 active games. With Marks potentially returning in Week 17, Chubb's value is limited to deep formats only for Saturday's tilt against the Chargers.

Active versus Raiders Chubb (ribs) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Despite practicing fully both Thursday and Friday, Chubb -- who was inactive in Week 15 -- was deemed questionable for the contest, as was fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle), who was limited Friday. With Marks having been made inactive versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to have an opportunity to lead Houston's backfield in the absence of any setbacks, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who was productive while handling added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload, and Dare Ogunbowale is another candidate to mix in.

Could serve as lead runner Week 16 Chubb (ribs) remains listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders but could be in line to serve as the Texans' top ball carrier in Week 16 with Woody Marks (ankle)...

Impact Before sitting out the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals due to a ribs injury, Chubb had begun to cede more work on the ground to Marks over his most recent appearances. However, Marks exited the Week 15 game early due to an ankle injury of his own, then sat out practices Wednesday and Thursday before returning to the field Friday as a limited participant. Like Chubb, Marks is listed as questionable, and though he had been pushing to play Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston relays that the Texans plan to have the rookie rest his ankle this week. Assuming Chubb -- who practiced fully Thursday and Friday -- is officially cleared upon the release of Houston's inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff, he could take on the brunt of the carries out of the backfield with Marks out of the picture. Meanwhile, Jawhar Jordan is also expected to have a role in the game plan after a 15-carry, 101-yard performance in Week 15, and Dare Ogunbowale could see more involvement on passing downs.

In line to suit up Sunday Chubb (ribs), who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 clash against Las Vegas, is likely to play, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Chubb missed Houston's win over Arizona last Sunday, but it appears his absence won't extend beyond that one game. His likely ability to play against the Raiders could carry significantly more weight if No. 1 RB Woody Marks (ankle) is unable to suit up. If Marks doesn't play, Chubb could potentially work as the Texans' lead back, though Jawhar Jordan may have earned that honor with his 15-carry, 101-yard performance in his NFL debut last Sunday. Even if Marks does manage to take the field, Chubb and Jordan could factor in more than usual given the former's ankle issue and a potential blowout against the 2-12 Raiders.

Questionable after full practice Chubb (ribs) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after practicing fully Thursday and Friday.

Impact Chubb was inactive for the Texans' Week 15 win over the Cardinals, but he appears to be trending toward a return to action Sunday following back-to-back full practices. Meanwhile, fellow RB Woody Marks (ankle) -- who didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday -- has also been deemed questionable after logging a limited session Friday. In any case, the Week 16 status of both players is slated to be confirmed once Houston's inactives are posted ahead of Sunday's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Chubb's fantasy lineup viability this weekend hinges on Marks' availability, with Jawhar Jordan a candidate to see added snaps against Las Vegas if either Marks or Chubb are limited or out.

Should play after full practice Chubb (ribs) was a full practice participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Barring any setbacks coming out of Friday's practice, Chubb looks like he'll be ready to return from a one-game absence and approach this Sunday's game against the Raiders without an injury designation. Before injuring his ribs early in a Week 14 win over the Chiefs, Chubb had been playing second fiddle to Woody Marks in the backfield during the second half of the season, but Chubb could have a chance to take on greater volume in Week 16. Marks emerged from this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals with an ankle injury and has sat out both of the Texans' first two practices this week. As a result, Marks' availability for the matchup with Las Vegas would appear to be murky at the moment.

Limited in return to practice Chubb (ribs) was a limited participant Wednesday in his return to practice.

Impact Fellow Texans running back Woody Marks (ankle) was a non-participant after his early exit from Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona. Chubb was inactive for the contest but now appears on track to return for Sunday's game against Las Vegas, with his role largely depending on Marks' health. Jawhar Jordan ran for 101 yards this past Sunday, doing most of his damage in the second half after Marks left early. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the game had been closer.

Returns to practice Chubb (ribs) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Chubb missed Sunday's 40-20 win over Arizona, during which Woody Marks tweaked his ankle injury and missed the second half. Coach Demeco Ryans said afterward that Marks could've returned if the score had been closer, but there's nonetheless some question about Houston's Week 16 backfield picture now that Chubb is back on the practice field while Marks is sitting out Wednesday. An upcoming matchup with the Raiders equates to increased fantasy appeal for whoever gets most of the carries, be it Marks, Chubb or Jahwar Jordan (16 touches for 118 yards last week).

Sitting out Sunday Chubb (ribs) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Impact Though Chubb has a lengthy injury history, he had played in each of the Texans' first 14 games of the season before exiting last Sunday's win over the Chiefs due to the rib injury. He was unable to practice Wednesday and Thursday before returning to practice Friday as a limited participant, prompting the Texans to list him as questionable heading into the weekend. Ultimately, Chubb wasn't able to make enough progress to give it a go Sunday, so his absence should clear the way for rookie Woody Marks to serve as Houston's lead option out the backfield. Dare Ogunbowale, Jawhar Jordan and British Brooks will provide depth behind Marks.
