Woody Marks injury update eases Texans fans’ concerns
Woody Marks’ injury, sustained during the Houston Texans’ Week 15 matchup against the Arizona Cardinals, sparked immediate concern among fans. The running back exited the game and did not return for the second half, leading many to fear the worst. However, the latest updates suggest that the injury may not be as serious as initially thought.
Coach Ryans provides reassuring news
In his postgame press conference following the Texans’ decisive 40-20 victory over the Cardinals, head coach DeMeco Ryans revealed that Marks had the potential to return to the field if necessary. Ryans confirmed, “Woody Marks could have came back in the game,” providing a much-needed sigh of relief for the Texans’ fanbase.
Game strategy influences decision
Despite Marks’ ability to return, the coaching staff opted to let him rest and instead leaned on backups Dare Ogunbowale and Jawhar Jordan for the remainder of the game. This decision reflects a strategic approach, prioritizing the player’s long-term health over immediate needs in a game that was already well in hand.
Looking ahead
Marks, who tweaked his ankle during the game, will likely be monitored closely in the days leading up to the Texans’ next matchup. The team will assess his condition to ensure he can return to full strength without risking further injury. As fans eagerly anticipate more updates, the knowledge that Marks could have re-entered the game provides comfort as the Texans continue their push for the playoffs.
