Woody Marks (Ankle) Could Have Returned Sunday; Week 16 Status Promising

Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) exited Sunday's 40-20 win over the Cardinals early but head coach DeMeco Ryans stated he 'could have come back in the game.' Ryans noted Marks' ankle was 'tweaked a little bit' but the team opted to keep him sidelined as a precaution. These comments bode well for his chances of gaining clearance for Week 16 against the Raiders. The next update on his health is expected Wednesday. If Marks is out, Dare Ogunbowale, Jawhar Jordan, and British Brooks would lead the backfield.
