Cooper Kupp ‘definitely' will play in 2025, but WR uncertain about future with Rams

Minimal role in playoff exit Woods was not targeted and did not attempt a punt return in Saturday's 23-14 divisional-round loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Woods battled a hip injury all week but was deemed available, though he may not have been 100 percent. The 32-year-old wideout was on the field for just six offensive snaps and twice while on special teams. Woods spent much of the regular season as a depth receiver and only recently was elevated to the top three after season-ending injuries to Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). He finished the regular season with 20 catches on 30 targets for 203 yards and zero touchdowns, the lowest productivity across his 12 NFL seasons. Woods enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Available Saturday Woods (hip) is active for Saturday's divisional-round game at Kansas City.

Impact Woods was held out of practice all week due to a hip injury, but it won't stop him from being available for the Texans' second playoff outing. In three contests since Tank Dell (torn ACL) joined Stefon Diggs (torn ACL) as out for the season, Woods has hauled in exactly two passes in each of the last three games for a 6-82-0 line on nine targets.

Will Robert Woods play vs Chiefs? Injury updates for Texans WR #Texans wide receiver Robert Woods is dealing with a hip injury. Here are the latest updates.

JANUARY 17, 2025 • USATODAY.COM

Questionable after another 'DNP' Woods (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs.

Impact Woods was listed as a non-participant in practice Tuesday through Thursday, which clouds his status for the Texans' 4:30 ET kickoff Saturday. If Woods is unavailable versus Kansas City, added snaps would be available for John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson behind top wideout Nico Collins.

Misses practice again Woods (hip) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact With back-to-back 'DNPs' Tuesday and Wednesday in the books, Thursday's session should loom large with regard to Woods' chances of playing in Saturday's divisional-round game against the Chiefs. If the veteran wideout is limited or out this weekend, added snaps behind top option Nico Collins would be freed up for John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson.

JANUARY 15, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Misses practice with hip injury Woods (hip) didn't participate in Tuesday's practice.

Impact Woods logged 51 percent of the offensive snaps in last Saturday's wild-card win over the Chargers, finishing with a 2-22-0 receiving line on four targets. With Woods dinged up and the Texans cutting Diontae Johnson earlier Tuesday, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson could be in line for even bigger roles behind Nico Collins in Saturday's divisional-round tilt against the Chiefs.

JANUARY 14, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Significant run in playoff win Woods caught two of four targets for 22 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in Houston's 32-12 win over the Chargers in wild-card round last Saturday.

Impact Woods was part of the Texans' top three wideouts, had a red-zone target, and was on the field for 37 snaps. That snap count tied him with Jon Metchie behind Nico Collins' 64. Largely an irrelevant figure on game days for much of the season, Woods' profile rose with the injuries to Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee). The 35-year-old finished the regular season with career-lows in catches (20) and yards (203) while never breaking out his touchdown dance for the first time in his 12 NFL seasons. He'll enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, and it's unlikely a team will sign him to be any more than a depth piece/returner at this stage of his career. Woods accepted his role as veteran mentor in Houston and could always return to the Texans.

JANUARY 13, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Paces receivers Week 18 Woods caught two of three targets for a team-high 39 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over Tennessee in Week 18.

Impact Woods received extra playing time as the Texans limited Nico Collins in the regular-season finale. Houston heads into the postseason with injuries to key contributors at wide receiver -- Stefon Diggs (knee) and Tank Dell (knee) -- so Woods will be part of the top three next Saturday at home against the Chargers. Along with Woods behind Collins will be John Metchie and Diontae Johnson. The 32-year-old Woods finished the regular season with career lows in receptions (20), targets (30), yards (203) and catches of more than 20 yards (one).

JANUARY 6, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Two grabs in loss Woods caught both of his targets for 21 yards in Wednesday's 31-2 loss to Baltimore in Week 17.

Impact Woods had the fourth-most snaps (21) among wide receivers, as the return of John Metchie from a shoulder injury pushed Woods further down the depth chart. The Texans will operate without both Tank Dell (knee) and Stefon Diggs (knee) for the regular-season finale and through the postseason, when Woods' 12 years of experience could be useful.

Texans look to regroup as they prepare for Ravens after Tank Dell suffers another injury

For a second straight season, the Houston Texans will be without Tank Dell to end the regular season and for the playoffs after the dynamic receiver suffered another major injury

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • Associated Press

Ramped up usage in loss Woods caught three of six targets for 19 yards and returned one kickoff for 31 yards in Saturday's 27-19 loss to the Chiefs in Week 16.

Impact Woods was on the field for a season-high 34 offensive snaps, a bump in activity due to an injury to Tank Dell (kneecap). The Texans have clinched a playoff spot but will be without Stefon Diggs (knee) and potentially Dell in the postseason, which creates an opportunity for Woods. It should be noted that John Metchie (shoulder) was inactive for Saturday's game; he moved ahead of Woods on the depth chart as a result of the Diggs' injury in Week 8.

DECEMBER 22, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two touches in win Woods caught both of his targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 20-12 win over Miami in Week 15.

Impact Woods had the third-most snaps (24) among wide receivers, but his production was similar to previous weeks. After Nico Collins and Tank Dell, Woods is looking for leftovers along with John Metchie (21 snaps, four targets) and Xavier Hutchinson (eight, one). Woods has caught 13 of 19 targets for 124 yards and zero touchdowns.

DECEMBER 16, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One target in win Woods did not catch his lone target in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 13. He returned to two punts for 13 yards.

Impact Woods continued to serve at the back end of the depth chart and has just two targets since Nico Collins returned to a full-time role. As a returner, Woods leads the team with a combined 248 yards on punts (four returns) and kickoffs (14).

DECEMBER 2, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

One target in loss Woods caught his lone target for eight yards in Sunday's 32-27 loss to the Titans in Week 12. He also returned five punts for 24 yards.

Impact Woods, who had a slight bump in targets when injuries hit Houston's top two wideouts, was back to normal in Nico Collins' second game back. Collins was under a pitch count when he returned to duty last week but was back to normal Sunday, which put a crimp on Woods' playing time (13 snaps) and targets. His main job these days is as a returner -- 235 returns yards vs. 112 receiving yards -- and has moved behind John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson on the wide receiver depth chart.

NOVEMBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches in win Woods caught both of his targets for 13 yards in Monday's 34-10 win over the Cowboys in Week 11. He also returned one kickoff for 21 yards.

Impact Woods continued a depth role in which he carves out a couple of targets per game, although his snap count took a slight hit with the return of Nico Collins. Since injuries to wideouts started popping up Week 6, Woods has seen an uptick in activity. After he missed two game as part of the injury wave, Woods has seven receptions on 10 targets for 76 yards the last four games.

NOVEMBER 19, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Takes back seat to young WRs Woods caught one of three targets for one yard in Sunday's 26-23 loss to Detroit in Week 10.

Impact Woods, who logged 24 snaps, once again served as the fourth wideout, as younger receivers Xavier Hutchinson (57 snaps), Tank Dell (51) and John Metchie (44) have become the primary targets with Nico Collins (IR, hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (IR, knee) unavailable. Collins, who was designated to return but was inactive Sunday, could return Week 11 against Dallas, which would further bury Woods' on-field presence. Woods has eight catches on 13 targets for 91 yards and no touchdowns over eight games played.

NOVEMBER 11, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Two catches as fill-in Woods caught two of three targets for 44 yards in Thursday's 21-13 loss to the Jets in Week 9.

Impact Woods got the start with both Nico Collins (hamstring) and Stefon Diggs (knee) unavailable. He played 39 snaps and contributed on Houston's lone touchdown drive with a 32-yard reception in the second quarter. If Collins returns as expected for Week 10, then Woods would likely return depth role. He has seven catches on 10 targets for 90 yards in seven games played.

NOVEMBER 1, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Larger role than expected Woods caught both of his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 23-20 win over the Colts in Week 8. He also returned two punts for 23 yards.

Impact Woods, who returned to action following a two-game absence due to a foot injury, played a larger role than anticipated. That was due to the potentially serious knee injury suffered by Stefon Diggs, who is headed for an MRI and unlikely to play Thursday against the Jets. Some combination of Woods, Xavier Hutchinson and John Metchie will fill the void created by Diggs' injury.

Impact Woods, who returned to action following a two-game absence due to a foot injury, played a larger role on offense than anticipated.

Set to return Week 8 Woods (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts.

Impact Woods will return after a two-game absence, though he isn't expected to play a significant role on offense despite the absence of Nico Collins (hamstring). Woods steadily increased his practice participation throughout the week, going from a DNP on Wednesday to limited participation Thursday before practicing in full Friday.

OCTOBER 25, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Returns to practice Thursday Woods (foot) was listed as a limited participant on the Texans' injury report Thursday.

Impact Woods was able to play through a foot injury during the Texans' Week 5 win over the Bills, but the veteran wideout has been sidelined for Houston's last two games. His ability to practice Thursday indicates that Woods is making progress through the issue, and if he's able to practice in at least a limited capacity Friday, he'll give himself a shot at suiting up for Sunday's AFC South clash against the Colts. Woods' return would give the Texans some additional depth at wide receiver while Nico Collins (hamstring) resides on injured reserve.

OCTOBER 24, 2024 • ROTOWIRE

Remains sidelined Wednesday Woods (foot) didn't practice Wednesday.

Impact Woods missed Houston's last two games due to plantar fasciitis, and while he's reportedly making progress in his recovery, the veteran wide receiver still isn't ready to resume practicing. If Woods doesn't return Sunday against the Colts, Xavier Hutchinson would continue to play in three-receiver sets, though Hutchinson was nudging ahead of Woods even before the veteran wideout got hurt.
