The Houston Texans already have a limited running game with Woody Marks taking a majority of their carries.

What about having zero running game in Week 10 against the Cleveland Browns?

The Texans could be without both David Montgomery and Marks following Thursday's injury report. Marks, who was not out at practice, was listed as limited with a knee injury on Thursday.

This is massive since Montgomery, the Texans' top running back in Week 1, has not played since the victory over the Tennessee Titans last month with a groin injury. Plus, given that the Texans waived running back Dare Ogunbowale earlier this week, the only running back left on the roster who's nearly 100 percent is Emari Demercado.

Texans offensive coordinator Nick Caley said that while Demercado hasn't seen an extensive amount of reps, running back's coach Danny Barrett always has someone locked in and ready to go.

"Just getting them all ready, giving them opportunities and being conscientious of monitoring reps, who's gotten what reps, who hasn't, making sure we can get guys reps, really trying to format roles as the week goes on to allow those guys to just hone in and get time on task in specific things," Caley said.

"We've got a good group of guys that all are there to support each other. Just trying to build it throughout the week and take it day by day, really."

The Texans, who ranked 29th in rushing, could be in line for a strong day on the ground against Cleveland's defensive line. While the Browns have been successful in creating a pass rush, they rank 27th against the run, allowing 130.6 yards per game and 4.7 yards per run.

Last week, Marks rushed for 70 yards on 12 carries and had his longest run of the season in a 44-22 win over the Chargers.

Kickoff is scheduled for Noon on FOX.
