The Houston Texans will be facing the Cleveland Browns this week, and there's a chance they could be getting a key player back on offense. David Montgomery has missed some time with an injury, but he was recently a participant in practice. That's good news for the Texans, but the not-so-good news is that Woody Marks is now dealing with an injury.
Offensive coordinator Nick Caley spoke about how he plans on handling the situation in the backfield.
“Texans OC Nick Caley on running backs situation with David Montgomery returning to practice activity on side today, Woody Marks sidelined with knee injury: ‘Getting them all ready, giving them opportunities, monitoring reps. We've got a good group of guys, build it throughout the week,'” Aaron Wilson wrote on X, formerly Twitter.
If either one of Montgomery and Marks is ready to suit up for the Browns in the coming days, that would bode well for the Texans. If both of them are out, then they'll definitely be in some trouble.
Head coach DeMeco Ryans gave an update on Montgomery a day before he returned to the practice field.
“David Montgomery's still going through the process,” Ryans said. “He's getting better. We're encouraged by his progress so far. We'll see when he's able to get back out on the field.”
It's been an up-and-down season for the Texans' offense, but as of recent, they've found a rhythm. They've won three of their last four games after starting the year 0-4, and the hope is that they can continue to get in the win column.
