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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.

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

EDGE Analysis

Woods saw a season-low snap count, even though 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 starter at wideout alongside Collins but had dropped to fourth on the depth chart prior to Dell's injury. Woods did have an eight-target game as recently as Week 11, however.

Woods caught two of three targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 24-21 loss to the Jaguars in Week 12.

EDGE Analysis

Woods found himself on the edge of quarterback C.J. Stroud's target distribution. Nico Collins (nine targets) and Tank Dell (eight), each of whom scored a touchdown Sunday, further established themselves as the team leaders at wide receiver. Given the way Noah Brown (knee) performed -- 13 catches, 325 yards, one touchdown -- in the two games leading up his Week 10 injury, a strong case can be made that Woods is fourth on the depth chart when all receivers are healthy.

Woods brought in five of eight targets for 44 yards in the Texans' 21-16 win over the Cardinals on Sunday.

EDGE Analysis

Woods enjoyed a solid day from a PPR perspective thanks in part to the absence of Noah Brown (knee), who had essentially displaced him from the No. 3 receiver role in the last two games. The veteran wideout still filled a complementary short-area role behind Nico Collins and Tank Dell on Sunday, however, and Woods will likely return to No. 4 slotting as soon as Brown is healthy enough to return.

Woods (foot) practiced fully Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Woods didn't practice Wednesday, but his ability to log a full session a day later would seem to confirm that his initial absence was maintenance-related. In his return from a two-game absence in the Texans' Week 10 win over the Bengals, Woods played 45 of 75 snaps on offense and caught one of his three targets for 15 yards. Now that he's further removed from the foot issue that sidelined him, Woods could see an uptick in production Sunday against the Cardinals, with quarterback C.J.Stroud having put up big passing numbers in two straight Houston wins.

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

EDGE Analysis

Woods didn't practice Wednesday, but his return a day later hints at his absence being maintenance related. Thursday's injury report will reveal the wideout's participation level in the team's second practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

EDGE Analysis

Woods returned from a two-game absence in this past Sunday's 30-27 win over the Bengals, logging 45 of 75 snaps on offense and catching one of his three targets for 15 yards. With no reported setbacks in the contest, Woods may just be getting some extra maintenance for his foot ahead of this Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

Woods caught one of three targets for 15 yards in Sunday's 30-27 win over Cincinnati.

EDGE Analysis

Woods returned to action after missing two games with a foot injury. Through the first five weeks of the season the veteran wideout was a prominent option for rookie QB C.J. Stroud, averaging eight targets per game, but Tank Dell (14 targets, 56 yards) has since emerged as a short threat and Noah Brown (eight, 172) as a deep-ball target. The pecking order at wide receiver could be adjusted further at Woods' expense in Week 11 against the Cardinals if Nico Collins (calf) is ready to play.

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

EDGE Analysis

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.
