The Houston Texans could be limited at two key positions heading into Week 16 against the Las Vegas Raiders
Running back Woody Marks (ankle) and defensive back Derek Stingely Jr. (slash) missed their second straight practice after leaving last week’s 40-20 win over the Arizona Cardinals. The trend is for the pair not to play, although nothing will be certain until Friday’s final walk-through.

Defensive back Kamari Lassiter returned to practice in a limited capacity after dealing with a foot injury. Even after missing the first day of practice, the second-year linebacker is still expected to play Sunday against the three-win Cardinals.
That was expected as Lassiter missed two practices last week, but he returned and started against the Chiefs on Friday, recording two pass breakups and an interception in the fourth quarter.
Here are the injury reports for both teams on Thursday.
