No current injury designation
Latest
Marks’ current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He carries no designation on our tracked feed ahead of Houston’s Week 9 road game at the Chargers, and he played 16 games as a rookie in 2025.
Early this season he split the backfield almost evenly with David Montgomery, 40 snaps to 39 in Week 1 and 38 to 42 in Week 2. He ran 17 times for 50 yards across those games and added five catches for 27 yards in Week 2, per CBS Sports.
Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Wednesday that David Montgomery (groin) will not play Sunday’s Week 9 game at the Chargers, per NBC Sports, leaving Marks to carry Houston’s backfield, as he did with 84.8% of the snaps when Montgomery left an earlier game at Tennessee.
Fantasy Action: start Marks as Houston’s lead back at the Chargers in Week 9; he carries no designation and is next on Houston’s depth chart behind the injured Montgomery, though he was limited at Wednesday’s practice with a sore ankle, per NBC Sports, so check Thursday’s and Friday’s reports.
