David Montgomery injury update: Still sidelined at practice ahead of Week 7 vs. Giants (groin)

David Montgomery remains sidelined at practice with a groin injury, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston.

By Cole Hartwell

David Montgomery is not slated to practice Wednesday, according to Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Montgomery continues to deal with a groin injury.

What happened

Montgomery (groin) isn’t slated to practice Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Context

Montgomery has 45.5 PPR points, 52 carries, 138 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 7 receptions, and 67 receiving yards in 5 games for the Texans this season. He is averaging 9.1 PPR points per game. He is listed as RB3 on the Texans’ running back depth chart behind Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale.

Timeline

The Texans ruled Montgomery out for their Week 6 game against the Jaguars on October 18. Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Montgomery is week to week with the groin injury. Montgomery did not practice Wednesday of that week and exited Week 5 in the second quarter with five carries for 11 yards.

Depth chart

Woody Marks is the Texans’ RB1. He has 53.4 PPR points, 58 carries, 205 rushing yards, 2 rushing touchdowns, 13 receptions, and 79 receiving yards in 6 games. Marks is averaging 8.9 PPR points per game.

Dare Ogunbowale is the Texans’ RB2. He has played in 3 games this season and has a 1% snap share.

Jawhar Jordan is listed ahead of Montgomery. He has 12.0 PPR points, 6 carries, 43 rushing yards, 1 rushing touchdown, 1 reception, and 7 receiving yards in 1 game.

What’s next

The Texans host the New York Giants on Sunday, October 25. Montgomery is still listed as questionable on Sleeper with a groin injury.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Montgomery is still not practicing, so his status for Week 7 is very much in doubt. He was ruled out last week and was deemed week-to-week. Woody Marks saw 15 carries for 62 yards in Week 5 and remains the lead back. If Montgomery sits again, Marks is a volume-based RB2/flex. Dare Ogunbowale is the direct backup but has barely played (1% snap share in 3 games), so he is not a recommended fantasy option. Montgomery has minimal redraft value right now and should be held only in deeper leagues until he returns to practice.
