It remains unknown whether Woody Marks will be able to suit up this Sunday for the Houston Texans game against the Las Vegas Raiders at NRG Stadium for Week 16 of the NFL. This weekend will mark the return of several players for the Texans, including Nick Chubb, Christian Kirk, and potentially Azeez Al-Shaair.
#Texans expect currently and have throughout week that Nick Chubb will return from rib injury, per sources, along with Christian Kirk (illness). Game-time decision for Azeez Al-Shaair (knee, ankle) trending to play, barring setback. Derek Stingley Jr. (oblique), Woody Marks… https://t.co/itkqbP0NjQ

He remains listed as questionable, due to a recurrence of an ankle injury he suffered a couple of weeks ago, which returned last week against the Arizona Cardinals. He missed the second half of that Week 15 game, although coach DeMeco Ryans said he could’ve returned to the game if they had chosen to.
What Happened to Woody Marks?
The running back originally suffered an ankle injury in Week 13 against the Indianapolis Colts. Initially, he was able to return to the game and play through the injury, but he has been suffering from a nagging ankle issue ever since.
In Week 15, the injury returned in a game against the Arizona Cardinals. He was taken off the field at halftime out of an abundance of caution, although head coach DeMeco Ryans claims he could’ve kept playing.
Will Woody Marks Play Today?
According to the latest reports, Marks is a game-day decision for the Houston Texans. According to NFL reporter Aaron Wilson, the team expects him to play today, while other reports point to the coaching staff wanting to see how the running back reacts during warmups ahead of Sunday’s game.
Woody Marks Fantasy Outlook
If you can, we would recommend you play someone else at the running back position. For all the positive expectations, it remains a toss-up whether or not he plays today against the Raiders. If you’re looking for an alternative, it’s more likely that Nick Chubb will start today for the Texans than him.
