The
Montgomery, who has started every game for the Texans this season, is sidelined with a groin injury. His absence leaves a void in the backfield, with second-year running back Woody Marks expected to take on the primary rushing duties. Montgomery has recorded 138 rushing yards and two touchdowns on the ground this year, alongside seven receptions for 67 yards and an additional score. While he has averaged 2.7 yards per carry, Marks has shown efficiency with a 3.5-yard average, totaling 149 rushing yards and two touchdowns to date.
Defensive Adjustments and Roster Updates
The defensive unit will also undergo a forced change with Jalen Pitre unavailable due to a shoulder injury. Pitre has been a constant presence in the starting lineup throughout the season, and the team is expected to turn to rookie safety Kamari Ramsey to fill the vacancy in the secondary. The Texans, currently holding a 1-4 record, will look to these depth players to step up against a 4-1 Jaguars side in the high-profile London matchup.
In addition to the injury report for Sunday's game, the Texans provided an update on wide receiver Tank Dell. Although Dell will not travel to London, his recovery process continues to progress. The team opened his practice window on October 7, and he has participated in sessions over the last two weeks without experiencing any setbacks. Dell, who was placed on injured reserve to start the season, is working to return from a severe knee injury sustained in December 2024 that also forced him to miss the entirety of the 2025 campaign. Before that injury, the 2023 third-round draft pick had established himself as a key contributor, recording 51 receptions for 667 yards and three touchdowns.
