Texans Secure First Win; Ravens Face Injury Crisis Ahead of Clash
The Houston Texans secured their maiden win of the season last Sunday, blanking the Tennessee Titans 26-0. Rookie running back Woody Marks stole the show with a standout performance.
Marks, a first-year player, racked up an impressive 119 total yards and found the end zone twice against the Titans. His stellar play has been a bright spot in an otherwise challenging season for the Texans.
Meanwhile, the Baltimore Ravens are grappling with injury woes. Michael Jackson's hamstring injury casts doubt over his availability for Sunday's clash against the Texans. If Michael is unable to play, Cooper Rush is set to take the reins. Rush, who has started 14 games in his career, boasts a 9-5 record as a starter. However, the Texans are preparing for both scenarios - Michael's potential return and the threat posed by Rush and the Ravens' remaining weapons.
Several rookie Texans have shown marked improvement, earning more opportunities as the season progresses. However, the Ravens' injury report is lengthy, with seven players, including their top three cornerbacks and left tackle Ronnie Stanley, missing Wednesday's practice.
The Texans' first win of the season has provided a much-needed boost. With Michael Jackson's status uncertain, the Texans are preparing for both possibilities - facing the dynamic quarterback or Cooper Rush, who has proven himself a capable starter. The Ravens, meanwhile, must contend with several absences, which could impact their performance against the Texans.
