The Houston Texans could be limited at two of their key positions entering Week 16’s battle against the Las Vegas Raiders
Running back Woody Marks (ankle) and defensive back Derek Stingely Jr. (oblique) missed their second straight practice after leaving in last week’s 40-20 victory over the Arizona Cardinals. It’s trending toward the duo not playing, though nothing will be set in stone until Friday’s final walkthrough.

Defensive back Kamari Lassiter returned to practice in a limited capacity after dealing with a foot injury. Even after missing the first day of practice, the second-year defender is expected to play on Sunday against the three-win Cardinals.
This was expected since Lassiter missed two practices last week, but he returned on Friday and started against the Chiefs, recording two pass breakups and an interception in the fourth quarter.
Here’s a look at Thursday’s injury report for both teams.
