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.

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

Woods (hip) is inactive for Saturday's game at Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

Woods departed the Texans' Week 17 win against the Titans in the fourth quarter due to a hip injury, which didn't allow him to practice during Week 18 prep. He then entered the weekend with a questionable designation, but after doing a pregame workout, he won't be available to Houston's offense. With Tank Dell (fibula) on IR and Noah Brown (hip) inactive, John Metchie, Xavier Hutchinson and Johnny Johnson will be the options to mix in at wide receiver along with No. 1 Nico Collins.

Woods (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game against the Colts.

EDGE Analysis

Woods wasn't able to practice in any capacity this week, but the Texans aren't closing the door on the veteran wideout being available for Saturday's contest. Noah Brown (back), meanwhile, has already been ruled out for Week 18, so if Woods joins him on the inactive list, Houston would likely turn to youngsters John Metchie and Xavier Hutchinson to take on more reps alongside No. 1 receiver Nico Collins. Even if Woods is available to play without any limitations, he hasn't shown the ability to produce fantasy-friendly stat lines this season. Woods has maxed out at six catches and 74 receiving yards over his 14 appearances thus far in 2023.

Woods (hip) remained sidelined for Wednesday's practice.

EDGE Analysis

Both Woods and Noah Brown (back) have opened the practice week with back-to-back DNPs ahead of Saturday's win-or-go-home game against the Colts. Woods played 64 percent of the offensive snaps last week versus Tennessee, catching all four of his targets for 58 yards. He has just one touchdown on the season.

Woods (hip) didn't take part in Tuesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Woods and Noah Brown (back) were estimated as non-participants to kick off Week 18 prep after both players were knocked 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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
