Impact Houston couldn't get much of anything going on the ground, and Marks' turnover was one of five by the Texans and eight in total by both teams in cold, wet conditions at Foxborough. Marks went the entire regular season without losing a fumble, so ball security shouldn't be an issue for him in 2026, and the fourth-round pick out of USC had a successful rookie campaign with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs in 16 games. It remains to be seen whether the Texans will look to expand his role next year, or bring in a back more adept at running between the tackles to work in tandem with Marks.

Back in Sunday's game Marks (shoulder) returned to Sunday's divisional-round game against the Patriots, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Marks had exited the contest to have his shoulder checked out, but was subsequently deemed able to return to action. He'll continue to pace Houston's backfield in a game in which two of the team's top pass-catchers WR Nico Collins (concussion) and TE Dalton Schultz (calf) are unavailable.

First 100-yard game of career Marks took 19 carries for 112 yards and a touchdown while failing to catch his only target in Monday's 30-6 playoff win over Pittsburgh.

Impact Marks saved his best performance of the season for the first playoff appearance of his professional career while helping make easy work of the Steelers on Monday Night Football. The upstart rookie also registered the first 100-plus yard rushing game of his career after spending most of the regular season splitting backfield work with veteran Nick Chubb. The latter remained involved with 10 carries for 48 yards, but a significant portion of the backup's work came in garbage time. Marks will face a stiff test on the road against the Patriots on Sunday, but the rookie provides the highest upside out of the Texans' backfield for the divisional round.

4 Takeaways From the Texans' Win Over the Steelers

Woody Marks injury update: Latest news on Texans RB's status in wild-card game | Sporting News Houston Texans running back Woody Marks is dealing with an injury in the first half of the wild-card game versus the Pittsburgh Steelers.

JANUARY 13 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

Cleared to return Marks cleared concussion protocol and will re-enter Monday's wild-card game against the Steelers, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Marks hit his head hard on the turf late in a Texans' drive in the second quarter and was evaluated for a concussion in the medical tent. He will return after missing only a handful of plays and will likely continue to lead Houston's backfield.

Limited workload in Week 18 Marks carried the ball 10 times for 48 yards and caught two of three targets for zero yards in Sunday's 38-30 win over the Colts.

Impact The Texans wound up sitting many of their starters, including Marks, in the second half as their chances of winning the AFC South slipped away in Jacksonville. As a result, British Brooks led the team with 63 rushing yards. Marks didn't take on a significant role in the Houston offense until Week 4, but the 2025 fourth-round pick still wrapped up his first NFL season with 911 scrimmage yards and five total TDs (two rushing, three receiving) over 16 games. He'll lead the Texans backfield into a wild-card clash with the winner of Sunday's night's AFC North battle between the Ravens and Steelers.

Texans defy odds to reach playoffs after 0-3 start, extend winning streak to eight games

Handles 20 touches Marks rushed the ball 19 times for 71 yards in Saturday's 20-16 win over the Chargers. He added one reception on two targets for four yards.

Impact Marks regained his typical role after a one-game absence caused by an ankle injury, accounting for 19 of the 28 carries by Houston's backfield. As has often been the case, he wasn't particularly efficient with his opportunity, turning in a long gain of 19 yards but also having five of his rush attempts go for zero or negative yardage. While it was an uninspiring performance, Marks did manage at least 75 yards from scrimmage for the second time in his last three full games.

DECEMBER 26, 2025 • SPORTINGNEWS.COM

In clear for Week 17 Marks (ankle) was listed as a full participant for Tuesday's practice.

Impact Marks' availability for this past Sunday's eventual 23-21 win over the Raiders appeared to come down to a game-time decision, but the Texans ultimately erred on the side of caution and held the rookie running back out for the first time all season. Nick Chubb (ribs) returned from a one-game absence of his own and gained 33 yards on six carries and nine yards on one reception, but it was Jawhar Jordan (15-53-0 rushing line, five catches for 17 yards on five targets) who saw the bulk of the work out of the backfield. Both Chubb and Jordan could have roles in the Week 17 game plan, but now that Marks is back practicing without limitations, expect him to serve as the Texans' lead option in Saturday's contest versus the Chargers.
