During the Texans road trip to Detroit for a joint practice and preseason game with the Lions, Woody Marks was focused on his job during his first NFL preseason.He still couldnt help but notice the obvious energy, skill and intensity of the Lions offensive backfield headlined by running backs Jahmyr Gibbs and David Montgomery.Now, Marks is teaming up with Montgomery after a roster-shaking trade as he joined the Texans in exchange for fourth-round and seventh-round draft selections and offensive guard Juice Scruggs.The tandem that Gibbs, nicknamed Sonic, for his dynamic running, and Montgomery, known as Knuckles, for his punishing running style, is something for Marks to emulate.Im very excited, Marks told KPRC 2. Just looking back at the clips with him and Jahmyr Gibbs, it looked like they was having so much fun out there. When the running back room doing good and everybody blocking, its a party in the running back room. So, were looking to have that same joy him and Jahmyr Gibbs had bringing it down here in Houston.The arrival of Montgomery as the lead running back and primary replacement for injured former Pro Bowl selection Joe Mixon, who is expected to be released for a savings of $8 million, should allow Marks to stay fresh in a complementary role.A fourth-round draft pick from USC who was a prolific pass-catching presence there and at Mississippi State, Marks rushed for a team-high 703 yards on 196 carries last season after taking over the starting job from five-time Pro Bowl selection Nick Chubb. He rushed for a season-high 112 yards and a touchdown run in an AFC wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers.Montgomery, a 716-yard, eight-touchdown rusher last season for the Lions working behind Gibbs, became unhappy with his reduced role. Montgomery is excited about the move to Houston, per multiple league sources.The emergence of Gibbs led to a reduced workload for Montgomery, who had 158 carries last season. A former Chicago Bears third-round draft pick, Montgomery has rushed for 6,115 career yards and 59 touchdowns. He rushed for 1,015 yards and 13 touchdowns his first season in Detroit in 2023 and 775 yards and 12 touchdowns two seasons ago. His career-high for rushing yards is 1,070 yards in 2020 in Chicago, his second season in the league.Montgomery finished his Lions career with 2,506 yards and 33 touchdowns in three seasons. He had 1,015 yards, the second most of his career, in 2023.Montgomery rushed for 4.5 yards per carry last season and has averaged 4.1 yards per run for his career. The Texans running game ranked 22nd overall, 3.9 yards per carry, 29th in the NFL, and 31st with nine touchdown runs. They badly needed reinforcements. Montgomery provides that anchor for their running game. Love him as a back, watched him a couple times, him and Jahmyr Gibbs, see how they complement each other, Marks said. We reached out to each other already, just time to get to work. Having another back in the backfield is always good. Theres less I can take off of my body and theres less he can take off his body, and were just ready to get to work.Montgomery, 29, is due a nonguaranteed $5.49 million base salary this year and $7.49 million in 2027 with void years in 2028 and 2029. Plus, $1.75 million of his 2026 salary becomes fully guaranteed the third day of the league year. The contract isnt expected to be immediately addressed, but is likely to be adjusted at some point, per league sources.Marks is entering the second year of his rookie deal. He caught 24 passes for 208 yards and three touchdowns last season. Marks plans to get down in weight from 215 pounds to lean up and be even quicker.We both can do the same things, hes obviously a little bigger back, said Marks, who has been training with the Texans strength and conditioning coaches. I slimmed down a little bit from 215, 216. I want to play at like 208, so well be alright. Im very excited,New #Texans running back David Montgomery says goodbye to Detroit #Lions fans after trade @KPRC2 https://t.co/Zp4nlJXdnc pic.twitter.com/nsYiA5oHwN Aaron Wilson (@AaronWilson_NFL) March 2, 2026Montgomery played in every game last season. He caught 24 passes for 192 yards on 29 targets. He has 231 career receptions for 1,890 yards and four touchdowns.This guy, Lions coach Dan Campbell said at the NFL scouting combine prior to the trade. Hes a heck of a back.Aaron Wilson is a Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and click2houston.c#Texans running back Woody Marks @JoquaviousMarks is holding his first annual charity bowling tournament in May at Lucky Strike in Houston.

Crysencio Summerville has emerged as West Ham's saviour once again, netting the solitary goal that secured a vital 1-0 triumph over Fulham at Craven Cottage.The Dutch winger capitalised on a calamitous error from Fulham shot-stopper Bernd Leno, registering his seventh strike across his previous ten outings for the Hammers.This hard-fought victory lifts Graham Potter's side level on points with Nottingham Forest in 17th position.Only goal difference keeps West Ham inside the drop zone.TRENDINGStoriesVideosYour SayThe result also serves as a stark warning to Tottenham, who now find themselves merely a single point clear of both clubs in the survival scrap.West Ham demonstrated clear attacking ambition from the opening whistle.Jarrod Bowen surged forward within 30 seconds to set up Taty Castellanos, whose effort was kept out by Leno.The England World Cup hopeful Bowen then received a return pass from Castellanos but saw his attempt deflected away from goal.The Hammers skipper also dragged another opportunity wide.Fulham, chasing a third consecutive victory but hampered by the absence of nine-goal winger Harry Wilson through an ankle problem, turned to teenager Josh King for creativity.The youngster twice threatened but was thwarted by crucial interventions from Axel Disasi and Tomas Soucek.Alex Iwobi tested Mads Hermansen with a pair of long-range strikes before the interval.The West Ham goalkeeper produced a sharp save with his leg to deny King's snapshot just before the break.The second period began with Leno brilliantly palming away a Soucek header over his crossbar.Controversy then erupted when referee Matthew Donohue awarded Fulham a spot-kick for a challenge on Tom Cairney, only for VAR to reveal the Cottagers captain had actually caught Castellanos on the calf, prompting the official to overturn his decision.West Ham continued pressing, with Leno forced to prevent a Samuel Chukwueze own goal.Callum Wilson and Soucek narrowly failed to connect with Summerville's delivery across the face of goal, while Emile Smith Rowe squandered a golden chance after meeting Iwobi's cross at the back post.Moments later, Leno's rush of blood proved decisive as he charged from his area to intercept a through-ball, only to present possession directly to Bowen.The captain calmly laid the ball off to Summerville, who composed himself before rolling into the unguarded net.Fulham, still harbouring European aspirations, pushed for an equaliser through Iwobi and Rodrigo Muniz, both firing narrowly over, before Hermansen denied Smith Rowe in added time to preserve what could prove a season-defining result.Our Standards: The GB News Editorial Charter
