David Montgomery — Questionable
Prior to the Texans' Week 8 bye, Montgomery missed two straight games due to a groin injury and wasn't able to practice in advance of either of those contests. Ryans didn't offer much of an indication that Montgomery's condition has dramatically improved following the bye, with the coach noting that the running back will be evaluated throughout the week before a decision is made on his status for Sunday's contest. If Montgomery ends up being sidelined for a third consecutive game, Woody Marks would be in store for another turn as Houston's lead back.
David Montgomery — Out
Montgomery still hasn't returned to practice and will miss a second straight game, leaving Woody Marks to handle a large workload against the Giants. Jawhar Jordan (quad) was effective off the bench last week, but he's now on the practice-squad injured list, which leaves Dare Ogunbowale as the No. 2 RB. Ogunbowale's history as a special teamer and passing-down specialist suggest Marks should dominate carries.
David Montgomery — Doubtful
Montgomery is poised to miss a second straight game, and with Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) injured on the practice squad after he was elevated for Week 6, the Texans will ride Woody Marks and special-teamer Dare Ogunbowale out of the backfield, with Marks likely to see virtually every meaningful carry versus New York.
David Montgomery — Doubtful
Wilson adds that Montgomery is expected to miss Sunday's game against the Giants, though head coach DeMeco Ryans has yet to confirm as much. In any event, Montgomery's chances of playing look slim at best, as he has yet to practice since exiting during Houston's Week 5 win over the Titans. Woody Marks started in Montgomery's absence against the Jaguars in Week 6, and Marks is poised to lead the backfield again Sunday, with Dare Ogunbowale likely to fill a change-of-pace role and Jawhar Jordan (quadriceps) no longer a candidate to be elevated after being placed on the practice squad injured list.
David Montgomery — Questionable
Still seemingly being viewed as week-to-week after he failed to practice in any fashion last week before sitting out the Texans' win over the Jaguars in London, Montgomery appears to be trending toward another absence this weekend against the Giants. If Montgomery ends up missing another contest, Woody Marks would be in line for another turn as Houston's lead back, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad member Deuce Vaughn operating as depth options.
David Montgomery — Questionable
questionable
David Montgomery — Out
After making an early exit from the Texans' Week 5 win over the Titans due to the groin injury, Montgomery was unable to practice in any capacity Wednesday or Thursday. He'll stay behind in Houston while the Texans make the trip overseas and will set his sights on a return to action Week 7 against the Giants. With Montgomery set to miss his first game of the season, Woody Marks should be in store for a sizable workload once again after handling 19 touches and playing 56 of 66 offensive snaps in Week 5.
David Montgomery — Doubtful
Since being labeled week-to-week by head coach DeMeco Ryans on Monday, Montgomery has sat out the Texans' ensuing two practices. Unless he's able to take part in Friday's practice in some fashion, Montgomery will likely be officially ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London. Woody Marks looks poised to handle a workhorse role out of the backfield Week 6 with Montgomery expected to be inactive for the first time this season.
David Montgomery — Doubtful
Montgomery made an early exit from the Texans' Week 5 win at Tennessee due to a groin injury, which head coach DeMeco Ryans since has called a "week-to-week" concern for the running back, per Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle. As a result, Montgomery's lack of activity Wednesday isn't a surprise, and Houston ultimately could make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game in Jacksonville when it posts its final practice report of the week Friday. Woody Marks is lined up to lead the backfield for as long as Montgomery is sidelined.
David Montgomery — Doubtful
Montgomery exited Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans midway through the second quarter due to the groin injury and was unable to return. Based on Ryans' comments a day later, Montgomery looks to be trending toward missing his first game of the season in Week 6, when the Texans travel to London to face the Jaguars on Sunday. Montgomery's expected absence this coming weekend should clear the way for Woody Marks to take on a lead role out of the Houston backfield, with Dare Ogunbowale and practice-squad members Jawhar Jordan and Deuce Vaughn representing candidates to handle depth roles. Since scoring three touchdowns on 23 touches in a Week 1 loss to the Bills, Montgomery has failed to find the end zone while being limited to 78 yards on 32 carries (2.4 average) and four catches for 48 yards over the Texans' subsequent four contests.
Texans RB David Montgomery ruled out with groin injury
Texans running back David Montgomery suffered a groin injury against the Titans and was ruled out.
David Montgomery — Questionable
Houston will be left with Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale as its available options out of the backfield for the rest of the afternoon after Montgomery was unable to return following his departure from the game midway through the second quarter. Prior to exiting, Montgomery gained 11 yards on five carries and went without a target.
David Montgomery — Out
Prior to his exit in the middle of the second quarter, Montgomery had five carries for 11 yards. While Montgomery is considered questionable to return after walking slowly to the locker room, Woody Marks will take on lead-back duties for the Texans.
David Montgomery — Active
The veteran RB's longest gain on the ground went for only six yards, and Woody Marks scampered for the Texans' only rushing TD of the afternoon on a six-yard run just before the two-minute warning in the fourth quarter -- a score set up by Montgomery's 19-yard dash following a lateral from Dalton Schultz just one play before. Montgomery hasn't found the end zone himself or reached 50 scrimmage yards since Week 1, a streak he'll look to end in a Week 5 road trip to Tennessee.
David Montgomery — Active
Montgomery was stuffed for no gain on a fourth-and-1 in Colts territory in the first quarter, and he watched Woody Marks convert a one-yard rushing touchdown in the fourth quarter. Marks has 29 touches to Montgomery's 44 through three games, and it's concerning that Montgomery isn't monopolizing short-yardage opportunities after scoring three short TDs in the season opener. Neither running back has found much running room behind Houston's underwhelming offensive line, and Montgomery is averaging just 2.8 yards per carry heading into a Week 4 home game against the Cowboys.
