What happened: Marks rushed four times for 37 yards in Houston's second preseason game. He averaged 9.3 yards per carry.
Why it matters: The early production gives the Texans another live-game evaluation of Marks entering his second NFL season. His workload will help Houston define its backfield roles before the regular season.
By the numbers: Marks finished with 37 yards and one touchdown on four carries, including a 20-yard run.
What to watch: Houston will assess whether Marks can sustain that efficiency through its remaining preseason work.
