ROBERT WOODS NEWS

Active versus Bengals Woods (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

Impact Woods hasn't played wince Week 6, but his return to the mix arrives at an opportune time, with fellow WR Nico Collins (calf) unavailable Sunday. In that context, barring any in-game setbacks or limitations, Woods should have an opportunity to see his share of looks from QB C.J. Stroud (who racked up 470 passing yards in the Texans' Week 9 win over the Buccaneers) alongside Tank Dell and Noah Brown. Prior to his injury, the 31-year-old caught 22 of his 43 targets for 227 yards and a TD in six contests.

Returns to limited practice Woods (foot) was limited in Thursday's practice.

Impact It's an upgrade for Woods after he was absent Wednesday. The veteran hasn't played since Week 6, but the limited practice Thursday puts him on the right track for a possible return this Sunday against the Bengals. Especially with Nico Collins now battling a calf injury, the Texans could need Woods even more.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Back on practice field Woods (foot) was spotted at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Woods, who last played in Week 6, didn't practice Wednesday, but the wideout's return to the field a day later offers hope that he could return to action as soon as Sunday's game against the Bengals. The Texans' upcoming injury report will clarify Woods' official participation level Thursday.

NOVEMBER 9, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Officially out Week 9 Woods (foot) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers.

Impact Woods has yet to practice since Houston's Week 6 game against the Saints, so his absence against the Buccaneers comes as no surprise. The veteran wide receiver's next chance to play will come in Week 10 against the Bengals. Houston's top three wide receivers against Tampa Bay will be Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Noah Brown.

NOVEMBER 3, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Absent for another practice Woods (foot) isn't practicing Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Woods hasn't practiced in any capacity following the Texans' Week 7 bye and appears on track to miss a second straight game Sunday against the Buccaneers. Look for Houston to officially rule Woods out for the Week 9 contest when the team releases its final injury report Friday. Woods' expected absence this weekend should pave the way for Tank Dell and Noah Brown to see steady playing time alongside No. 1 wideout Nico Collins in three-receiver sets.

NOVEMBER 2, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Unlikely to play vs. Tampa Bay Woods (foot) didn't practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Adam Schefter of ESPN reported over the weekend that Woods was expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks with the foot injury he carried into the Texans' Week 7 bye, and that recovery timeline still appears to be an accurate one. After sitting out the Texans' Week 8 win over the Panthers, Woods once again appears likely to be inactive for Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, though the Texans haven't officially ruled the veteran receiver out for the Week 9 contest just yet. Official confirmation of Woods' status should come with the release of the team's final Week 9 injury report Friday, but it would be surprising if he managed to practice in any capacity before then. If Woods remains sidelined, Nico Collins, Tank Dell and Noah Brown should continue to play significant roles in a Houston offense that predominantly utilizes three-receiver sets.

Expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks Woods (foot), who is ruled out for Sunday's game against the Panthers, is expected to miss 2-to-3 weeks, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Woods is already ruled out for Week 8, and based on Schefter's report, he appears set to miss next Sunday's game against the Buccaneers as well, at a minimum. As long as Woods remains sidelined, expect Tank Dell and Noah Brown to handle regular top-three roles at receiver alongside top wideout Nico Collins.

OCTOBER 29, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Ruled out this week Woods (foot) won't play Sunday against the Panthers.

Impact Woods didn't practice all week, and with the veteran wideout already ruled out for Sunday, he'll target a potential return to action Week 9 against the Buccaneers. In Woods' absence, Tank Dell and Noah Brown should both have clear paths to top-three roles within the Houston receiving corps along with No. 1 wideout Nico Collins.

OCTOBER 27, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Misses another practice Woods (foot) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact With Woods having missed two straight practices, Wilson indicates that, barring an unexpected change, the wideout is trending toward missing Sunday's game against the Panthers. If Woods is unavailable this weekend, Noah Brown, Nico Collins and Tank Dell would be in line to lead the Texans' receiver corps.

OCTOBER 26, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Nursing foot injury after bye week Woods didn't practice Wednesday due to a foot injury.

Impact Coming off a Week 7 bye, Woods' absence from Wednesday's practice makes his status for Sunday's game against the Panthers worth tracking. If the veteran wideout ends up sitting out this weekend, Tank Dell -- who cleared the concussion protocol and is ready to return from a one-game absence -- would be in line to step right back into a key role in Houston's Week 8 passing attack alongside Nico Collins and Noah Brown.

OCTOBER 25, 2023 • ROTOWIRE

Gets veteran day Monday Woods did not suit up for Monday's practice in what was likely a veteran day, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Woods is nursing a nagging rib injury, so he was given a rest day Monday. If he's sitting out practices later in the week, then it will be time for concern. His first season in Houston has gone well; Woods leads the team with 43 targets and scored his first touchdown as a Texan in the Week 6 win over the Saints.
