Woods was not targeted over 16 snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo in Week 5. He also returned five punts for 66 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards. Woods, who played 54 snaps as a fill-in for wideout Tank Dell last week, was held back Sunday in favor of Xavier Hutchinson, who filled in after Nico Collins (hamstring) left the game. However the depth chart shakes out behind the top three wideouts, neither Woods nor Hutchinson are expected to see an uptick in targets when at least two of the top three are healthy. Woods replaced the inactive Steven Sims as Houston's kickoff returner Sunday.

Woods was not targeted over 16 snaps in Sunday's 23-20 win over Buffalo in Week 5. He also returned five punts for 66 yards and one kickoff for 31 yards. Woods, who played 54 snaps as a fill-in for wideout Tank Dell last week, was held back Sunday in favor of Xavier Hutchinson, who filled in after Nico Collins (hamstring) left the game. However the depth chart shakes out behind the top three wideouts, neither Woods nor Hutchinson are expected to see an uptick in targets when at least two of the top three are healthy. Woods replaced the inactive Steven Sims as Houston's kickoff returner Sunday.
Woods (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Bills. Woods didn't practice Thursday, but after returning to a limited session field Friday, he approached the contest listed as questionable. Now that his active status has been confirmed, Woods -- who has caught three of five targets in four games to date for 28 yards -- is slated to return to a complementary role in Houston's offense, with Tank Dell (chest) back in action after a one-game absence and set to reclaim his key role alongside fellow WRs Nico Collins and Stefon Diggs.
Woods (foot) is in line to suit up in Sunday's Week 5 contest versus Buffalo, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Woods popped up on the injury report this week due to a foot injury. He didn't practice Thursday but was able to participate in a limited fashion Friday, which looks to have been enough for him to take the field Sunday. Woods isn't likely to see extensive opportunities since Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell are all healthy and ahead of him in the receiver pecking order.
Woods (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Bills after being limited in practice Friday. Woods didn't practice Thursday, so it was encouraging that he managed to return to the practice field Friday, even in a limited capacity. Even if Woods suits up Sunday, he isn't expected to play a significant role, as Tank Dell (chest) has been cleared to return after a one-game absence, and there haven't been many targets left over in Houston's wide receiver room behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell.
Woods (foot) is participating in Friday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports. Woods didn't practice due to a foot injury Friday, so it's encouraging to see him back on the field in at least a limited capacity. Friday's official injury report will reveal whether the veteran wideout practiced in full or was limited, and whether Woods carries an official injury designation for Sunday's game against the Bills.
Woods (foot) didn't practice Thursday. Woods practiced fully Wednesday, so his DNP a day later is notable. On the plus side for the Texans, Tank Dell (chest) has logged back-to-back limited sessions. If he's able to play Sunday against the Bills, Woods, if available, presumably would move back to a reserve role behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Dell.
Woods caught one of three targets for 10 yards and played a season-high 54 snaps in Sunday's 24-20 win over the Jaguars in Week 4. Woods' healthy snap count was attributable to Tank Dell (chest) being inactive. In the three previous weeks, Woods totaled 34 snaps and two targets. Without Dell, quarterback C.J. Stroud stepped up his reliance on Nico Collins (15 targets) and Stefon Diggs (nine).
Woods caught both his targets for 18 yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to the Vikings. Woods was targeted for the first time this season. The veteran is purely a depth option behind Nico Collins, Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell, as is second-year wideout Xavier Hutchinson.
Woods went untargeted over nine snaps in Sunday's 19-13 win over Chicago in Week 2. For the second straight week, Woods was not targeted and saw minimal action. Through two weeks, he's played 21 snaps, the same amount as second-year wideout Xavier Hutchinson.
