Overview

  • Marks practiced as a full participant on Tuesday after missing Week 16 with an ankle injury.
  • He was ruled out against the Raiders following a limited Friday session and a questionable designation.
  • The ankle was reinjured in Week 15 versus the Cardinals after it had bothered him for several weeks.
  • If cleared, he is expected to resume lead-back duties; if not, Jawhar Jordan would take most of the workload with Nick Chubb used situationally.
  • Houston clinches a postseason spot with a win over the Chargers on Saturday (3:30 p.m. ET, NFL Network), and Marks leads the team’s backs with 167 carries for 584 yards plus 204 receiving yards and three receiving touchdowns.
