Woody Marks - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

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.

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.

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.

DECEMBER 23, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Participating in practice Tuesday Marks (ankle) was spotted participating in Tuesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Marks' participating level remains unclear, but the Texans will be required to release an official injury report Tuesday since they travel to play the Chargers on Saturday. Marks was injured in the Texans' Week 15 win over the Colts and was inactive for this past Sunday's win over the Raiders. In Marks' absence, Jawhar Jordan out-snapped Nick Chubb 30 to 21, with Jordan rushing 15 times for 53 yards and adding five catches for 17 yards on five targets. Jordan would likely again be in line to lead the backfield if Marks misses Week 17 against the Chargers.

Inactive Sunday Marks (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Impact Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday but was able to return to a limited session Friday before heading into the weekend listed as questionable, a status that fellow RB Nick Chubb (ribs) also carried into the contest. With Marks sidelined and Chubb available versus Las Vegas, look for Chubb to lead Houston's backfield, while 5-foot-10, 186-pounder Jawhar Jordan -- who did well with added snaps in Week 15 when Chubb was inactive and Marks exited early -- is also in line for an expanded workload Sunday and Dare Ogunbowale is on hand to mix in. Per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston, Marks had planned to play, but the Texans felt it was best to rest their top RB this week, with an eye toward having him available next weekend against the Chargers.

Impact Though Marks exited last week's win over the Cardinals and managed just one limited practice this week, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reported late Saturday that the rookie running back was planning on playing Sunday. Ultimately, Marks doesn't look like he'll be able to give it a go, with official confirmation on his status set to arrive when Houston posts its inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. With Marks trending toward sitting out, Nick Chubb (ribs) -- who is also listed as questionable but appears on track to play -- is projected to lead the Houston backfield in carries. Jawhar Jordan is also expanded to continue to have an expanded role in the game plan after he accounted for 118 total yards on 17 touches in the Week 15 win over Arizona.

Planning to play Sunday Marks, who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 matchup against the Raiders due to an ankle injury, is planning to suit up, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Marks didn't finish last Sunday's win over Arizona after hurting his ankle early in the second quarter. He didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday this week but got in a limited session Friday to give himself a chance of playing Sunday. It sounds like Marks is going to try to take the field, though his final status probably won't be shared until the Texans release their list of inactives about 90 minutes prior to the 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff. Should Marks need to sit out, Houston's backfield work could be split between veteran tailback Nick Chubb (ribs) and rookie Jawhar Jordan.

DECEMBER 21, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after limited practice Marks (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders after returning to a limited practice Friday.

Impact Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday, but his return to a limited session Friday gives him a chance to face Las Vegas. Also listed as questionable for the contest is fellow RB Nick Chubb, but he seems to be trending toward returning to action after practicing fully both Thursday and Friday. Look for added context regarding both players' status to arrive late Saturday or early Sunday via national reporters such as ESPN's Adam Schefter or NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, but at this stage it appears as though the composition of Houston's Week 16 backfield, which also includes Jawhar Jordan and Dare Ogunbowale, will not be confirmed until inactives are posted ahead the team's 4:25 p.m. ET kickoff.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Working on side Friday Marks (ankle) is working off to the side with a trainer at Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Wilson expects Marks to be listed as a limited participant, which would still be a step in the right direction after Marks didn't practice Wednesday or Thursday. Marks injured his ankle during this past Sunday's win over the Cardinals, and while Houston's coaching staff claimed that Marks could have reentered against Arizona, the ankle injury has put his availability for Sunday's game against the Raiders in jeopardy. Nick Chubb and Jawhar Jordan could play larger roles if Marks is sidelined or limited Sunday.

DECEMBER 19, 2025 • ROTOWIRE

Not practicing Thursday Marks (ankle) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Marks also logged a 'DNP' on Wednesday, which clouds his status for Sunday's game against the Raiders. If he ends up limited or out this weekend, Nick Chubb (ribs, limited Wednesday) -- if available -- and Jawhar Jordan would be in line to see added backfield snaps in Week 16.
