ROBERT WOODS NEWS

Added to injury report Woods (foot) didn't practice Thursday.

Impact Woods practiced fully Wednesday, so his 'DNP' a day later is notable. On the plus side for the Texans, Tank Dell (chest) has logged back-to-back limited sessions. If he's able to play Sunday against the Bills, Woods (if available) would presumably revert to a reserve role behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell.

Fills in as third wideout Woods caught one of three targets for 10 yards and played a season-high 54 snaps in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4.

Impact Woods' healthy snap count was attributable to Tank Dell (chest) being inactive. In the three previous weeks, Woods totaled 34 snaps and two targets. Without Dell, quarterback C.J. Stroud stepped up his reliance on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Stefon Diggs (nine).

AUGUST 10 • ROTOWIRE

Cleared to play Saturday Woods (hip) doesn't carry an injury designation ahead of Saturday's divisional round playoff game against the Ravens.

Impact Woods was deemed a limited practice participant Tuesday through Thursday, but the wideout will nonetheless be available Saturday. In the process, Woods should have a chance to reclaim a key role alongside top WR Nico Collins, with Noah Brown (shoulder) having landed on IR earlier this week. In that context, John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson are also candidates to see added opportunities versus Baltimore this weekend.

JANUARY 18 • ROTOWIRE

Another limited session Woods (hip) remained limited at practice Wednesday.

Impact Woods was also deemed limited in Tuesday's session, but at this stage there's nothing to suggest that the wideout will miss Saturday's divisional round game against the Ravens. Thursday's injury report will clarify whether Woods heads into the weekend with a designation or fully cleared to face Baltimore.

JANUARY 17 • ROTOWIRE

Active Saturday Woods (hip) is listed as active for Saturday's wild-card game against the Browns.

Impact Woods, who was listed as a non-participant in practice Tuesday, was deemed limited both Wednesday and Thursday before being listed as questionable for the contest. With Woods back in the lineup after missing Houston's playoff-clinching win over the Colts in Week 18, the veteran wideout will bolster a Texans' passing attack that figures to be paced by top wideout Nico Collins and the team's No. 1 tight end Dalton Schultz. In 14 regular-season games, Woods recorded a 40-426-1 line on 75 targets, a pace that limited his fantasy utility to deeper formats.

JANUARY 13 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable for wild-card game Woods (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's wild-card game against the Browns.

Impact After missing last week's regular-season finale versus the Colts, Woods sat out Tuesday's practice before logging limited reps Wednesday and Thursday. Like Woods, Noah Brown (back) is also listed as questionable for the wild-card round, though the former is likely a better bet to play after turning in two limited practices this week to the latter's one. Official word on the statuses of Woods and Brown for the playoff opener will arrive when Houston releases its inactive list 90 minutes prior to Saturday's 4:30 p.m. ET kickoff. Woods provided limited fantasy utility during the regular season, posting a modest 40-426-1 receiving line on 75 targets over his 14 appearances.

JANUARY 11 • ROTOWIRE

Limited in return to practice Woods (hip) was a limited participant in practice Wednesday, Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram reports.

Impact Woods missed Week 18 after suffering a hip injury in the fourth quarter Week 17. He now has a chance to return for Saturday's playoff matchup with Cleveland, and he may even be the Texans' No. 2 wide receiver with Noah Brown (back) still not practicing. Woods told reporters Wednesday that he felt good during his return to practice and hopes to be ready by Saturday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Sitting out practice Woods (hip) isn't participating in Tuesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Woods and fellow wideout Noah Brown (back) were both absent from the Texans' first practice of the week after the two were sidelined for this past Saturday's 23-19 win over the Colts. Both receivers will have two more opportunities to mix into drills before the Texans potentially give either player a designation for this Saturday's wild-card game against the Browns. While Woods and Brown were sidelined in Week 18, John Metchie (one catch for five yards on two targets) and Xavier Hutchison (one catch for six yards on four targets) settled into top-three roles at receiver, but neither came through with a useful fantasy line.

JANUARY 9 • ROTOWIRE

No activity to begin week Woods (hip) didn't take part in Tuesday's walkthrough.

Impact Woods and Noah Brown were estimated as non-participants to kick off Week 18 prep due to hip issues that knocked both players out of this past Sunday's win versus the Titans. Their respective activity levels Wednesday and Thursday likely will be key to determining if one or both have chances to play Saturday in Indianapolis.

Injures hip Sunday Woods was forced out of Sunday's 26-3 win over the Titans with a hip injury.

Impact Prior to his exit from the contest, Woods had caught all four of his targets for 58 yards. Meanwhile, Noah Brown also was forced out of the game with a hip injury, so the status of the two wideouts will need to be monitored as next weekend's game against the Colts approaches.

DECEMBER 31, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Six targets in loss Woods caught two of six targets for 14 yards in Sunday's 36-22 loss to the Browns in Week 16.

Impact Woods maintained elevated usage (61 snaps) even with the return of top wideout Nico Collins from a calf injury. Collins was on the field for just 35 snaps, which could have been a decision to hold him back due to the game getting out of hand early. With various injuries at wideout the last two games, Woods has 11 targets and played 81 percent of the offensive snaps.

DECEMBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Increased opportunities Woods caught three of five targets for 30 yards in Sunday's 19-16 overtime win over Tennessee in Week 15.

Impact Woods had been on the outs recently, but he was afforded an increased role (62 snaps, 81 percent) with both Nico Collins (calf) and Tank Dell (lower leg, IR) unavailable. Collins never practiced in preparation for Week 15, which leaves his availability for Week 16's home game against Cleveland in doubt. If he can't go, Woods should reprise an enhanced role in the passing attack.

DECEMBER 18, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Zero targets, touches in win Woods played 32 snaps and was not targeted in Sunday's 22-17 win over Denver in Week 13.

Impact Woods had a season-low snap count, which took on a more damning interpretation because it happened on a week Tank Dell was limited to nine snaps following a season-ending leg injury. Noah Brown joined Nico Collins as the top two receivers after Dell left the contest, and John Metchie (24 snaps, three targets) was near Woods in terms of playing time. Woods opened the season as a co-leader at wideout with Collins but dropped to fourth on the depth chart prior to Dell's injury. Woods did have an eight-target game as recently as Week 11, which is encouraging. The gameplan for Week 14 against the Jets, and Woods' usage, could be different as Houston plans for a world without Dell.
