Woods ended the 2023 regular season with 40 catches (on 75 targets) for 426 yards and one touchdown over 14 games.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was given heavy usage early in the season -- more than half of his targets came in the first five weeks -- but quarterback C.J. Stroud looked his way less often as the season wore on. Part of that was due to injuries, but it also was a reflection of improved production from Nico Collins and the emergence of rookie Tank Dell (lower leg). Woods had the worst statistical season of his 11-year career. Those developments and another turn around the sun -- Woods will be 32 next season -- suggest the Texans might move on from the veteran. Cutting Woods could save Houston $5 million in cap space.

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

EDGE Analysis

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

Woods (hip) remained limited at practice Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

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.

Woods (hip) was a limited participant in practice Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

An earlier report suggested Woods was held out of practice but wasn't in danger of missing Saturday's game in Baltimore. In turns out he was a limited participant, and he could have a bigger role this week after ranking just fourth among Houston's wide receivers in snaps during Saturday's 45-14 win over Cleveland. Noah Brown suffered a season-ending shoulder injury in the first quarter, and it was mostly John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson who took on extra snaps -- perhaps because Woods was still bothered by the hip injury that held him out Week 18 and had him listed as questionable for the wild-card round.

Woods (hip) didn't practice Tuesday but should be ready for Saturday's game at Baltimore, Aaron Wilson of KPRC2 Houston reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods was listed as questionable for the wild-card round with the same hip injury and ended up catching one of two targets for 11 yards in a 45-14 win over the Browns. He had a part-time role despite Noah Brown's early exit with a shoulder injury, playing fewer snaps (15) than both John Metchie (35) and Xavier Hutchinson (20). It is possible Woods takes more work away from one or both of those guys this Saturday if his hip is feeling better. With Brown placed on injured reserve Monday, the Texans have Woods, Metchie and Hutchinson as their top options behind No. 1 receiver Nico Collins.

Woods caught one of two targets for 11 yards in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card win over Cleveland.

EDGE Analysis

Woods returned to action after missing the final game of the regular season but played just 15 snaps on a day when Noah Brown (shoulder) was removed after just five snaps. That, along with elevated usage for John Metchie (35 snaps) and Xavier Hutchinson (20 snaps), suggests Woods may not have been 100 percent healthy.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Woods missed the Texans' Week 18 win over the Colts after suffering a hip injury in the fourth quarter of the Week 17 win over Tennessee. 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 said Wednesday that he felt good during his return to practice and hopes to be ready to go by Saturday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

Woods (hip) returned to practice Wednesday, Jonathan M. Alexander of the Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Woods, who was sidelined for the Texans' Week 18 win over the Colts, missed practice Tuesday, but his return to the field a day later suggests that the wideout has a chance to suit up for Saturday's playoff opener against the Browns. The team's second injury report of the week will be released later Wednesday, when the extent of Woods' practice participation will be known.
