Woody Marks exited today’s game in the first half with an ankle injury and did not return, leaving the Texans to turn to other backs as the contest continued. Officially listed as questionable to return, but game situation might keep him out of the second half. The injury occurred following an awkward step that forced Marks to the sideline for evaluation before he headed to the locker room, and early observation suggests the team will take a cautious approach as they assess his condition.
From an injury-history perspective, Marks has not dealt with a notable pattern of ankle issues at the professional level. During his college career at Mississippi State, he was generally durable, though he did manage typical wear-and-tear injuries associated with a high-volume running back, including minor lower-body ailments that occasionally limited practice participation. None were considered long-term concerns.
At this point, Marks’ status moving forward will depend on postgame evaluation and any imaging deemed necessary by the medical staff. Ankle injuries can vary widely in severity, so additional updates later this week should provide clarity on whether this was a short-term issue or something that could affect his availability in upcoming games.
