Woody Marks News: Hits paydirt in preseason finale

Marks carried the ball six times for 19 yards and a touchdown and caught all three of his targets for 20 yards in Saturday's 26-7 preseason win over the Lions.

The 2025 fourth-round pick made a strong final impression for the coaching staff, scoring the Texans' first TD of the afternoon on a nine-yard run early in the second quarter. With Joe Mixon (foot/ankle) uncertain for Week 1 and potentially headed for a stay on the PUP list, Marks could have a role in the offense right out of the gate behind Nick Chubb and Dameon Pierce.
