Texans RB Woody Marks Ruled Inactive for Week 16 Due to Ankle Injury

Texans RB Woody Marks (ankle) has been officially ruled inactive for Sunday's Week 16 game against the Raiders. Despite Marks' initial intention to play, the Texans opted to rest his ankle, limiting him to just one practice this week. With Marks sidelined, Nick Chubb (ribs) is expected to lead Houston's backfield, supported by an expanded role for Jawhar Jordan and potential snaps for Dare Ogunbowale. The team aims to have Marks available for next weekend's game against the Chargers.
