Texans injury report: 2 starters cleared for Week 15 battle vs. Cards

[ASFN Admin]

The Houston Texans could be limited at one of their key positions entering Week 15's battle against the Arizona Cardinals.

Running back Nick Chubb is listed as questionable for Sunday's matchup with a rib injury. He did return to practice on Friday in a limited fashion, but there are still questions surrounding his overall status entering the matchup on Sunday.

Defensive back Kamari Lassiter returned to practice in a limited capacity due to a foot injury, but did not appear on the injury report as questionable. Even after missing the first two days 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.

As for Woody Marks, he was limited with a knee injury but also didn't show up on the injury report, meaning he'll be good to go for Sunday's contest. Last week, Marks led the Texans with a career-high 28 carries for 68 yards. His workload could be limited over the next two games since Houston will need him at full speed to close out its season against the Los Angeles Chargers and Indianapolis Colts, two AFC contenders looking to clinch a playoff berth.

Here's a look at the final injury report for both teams.
