Texans Troubled by Absences Ahead of Raiders Showdown
The Houston Texans are facing a challenging week as two of their key starters miss practice for the second consecutive day. With their upcoming matchup against the Las Vegas Raiders looming, the team is keeping a close eye on the status of running back Woody Marks and cornerback Derek Stingley Jr., who were both absent during the media’s observation of Thursday’s practice.
Injury Updates on Key Players
Woody Marks is dealing with an ankle injury, while Derek Stingley Jr. is sidelined due to an oblique issue. Their absence raises concerns about the Texans’ preparations as they approach a critical game in Week 16. The team’s depth will be tested, especially if these injuries hinder their ability to compete effectively.
Positive News Amidst the Setbacks
On a brighter note, cornerback Kamari Lassiter has returned to practice, providing a glimmer of hope for the Texans’ secondary. His presence could help mitigate the impact of Stingley’s absence, but the team will undoubtedly be hoping for a swift recovery for both Marks and Stingley in the days leading up to the game.
As the Texans gear up for their clash with the Raiders, the health of these players will be a focal point in their preparations. The outcome of this matchup could hinge significantly on the availability of their star performers.
