Houston Texans running back David Montgomery did not practice on Wednesday, October 14, due to a groin injury sustained during the Week 5 game. The team confirmed his absence on HoustonTexans.com and indicated he could be sidelined for multiple weeks.
Montgomery left the field before the end of the Week 5 contest after aggravating the injury. His status remains uncertain as the Texans assess his recovery timeline. With Montgomery unavailable, Woody Marks is expected to take over the lead role in the Houston backfield. Marks will also enter the fantasy football flex conversation immediately, according to sources tracking the Texans’ depth chart.
The Texans have not provided an exact return date for Montgomery, but the suggestion that he might miss multiple weeks raises concerns about the team’s running game stability. Montgomery has been an important contributor to the offense this season, and his absence could force adjustments in Houston’s game plan.
The injury comes at a time when the Texans are still solidifying their offensive identity, making Montgomery’s potential extended absence a significant development. The team’s next few games will test how well Marks and the rest of the backfield can fill the gap.
For now, Houston will proceed without Montgomery in practice and game action until they have a clearer picture of his recovery progress. The Texans’ official website remains the primary source for updates on his condition.
