Receives two red-zone carries
Brooks had two carries for zero yards in Sunday's 18-15 loss to the Broncos in Week 9.
Analysis: Brooks was surprisingly allotted two consecutive carries at the goal-line in the first quarter and was stuffed by Denver's interior line on both. Those were two of the five running plays called inside the Broncos' two-yard line during the game that failed to get into the end zone, and Houston failed to produce a touchdown in three red-zone possessions. Brooks has four total carries for 15 yards this season and is a regular on special teams.

No usage in Week 8
Brooks played 11 of the Texans' 80 snaps on offense but didn't record any touches in Sunday's 26-15 win over the 49ers.
Analysis: Brooks has been active for five of the Texans' first seven games this season but has been deployed mainly as on the team's kick-coverage and return units, logging nearly three times as many snaps on special teams as offense. The Houston backfield would likely need to lose multiple contributors to injury before Brooks is called upon to play meaningful snaps on offense.

Logs two carries in win
Brooks had two rushes for 15 yards in Sunday's 44-10 win over Baltimore in Week 5.
Analysis: Brooks was one of five running backs for the game and played 11 snaps. Houston won its second consecutive game while running the ball more than passing it, which may explain why so many backs were active. Brooks had been a healthy scratch Weeks 1 and 3 before suiting up the last two games.

On active roster Week 2
Brooks was on the active roster but did not play on offense in Monday's 20-19 loss to the Buccaneers.
Analysis: Brooks was active for the first time in 2025, as the Texans somewhat surprisingly made Dameon Pierce inactive, but he was limited to special teams duty. Nick Chubb performed as the main back, with Woody Marks and Dare Ogunbowale in depth roles.

Won't play Week 1
Brooks (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Rams.
Analysis: The Texans will go with a four-man backfield that includes Nick Chubb, Dameon Pierce, Dare Ogunbowale and Woody Marks, which means Brooks will be in street clothes for Sunday's regular-season opener. Brooks' next chance to play is Week 2 against the Buccaneers on Monday, Sept. 15, though he's unlikely to play in that contest unless there's an injury in Houston's backfield.

On roster bubble
Brooks is one of five running backs projected to make the initial 53-man roster, per DJ Bein-Aime of ESPN.com.
Analysis: There's a big caveat to Brooks grabbing one of those spots; it may depend on whether the Texans have Joe Mixon (ankle) open the season on the reserve/non-football injury list. Brooks has experience on special teams and at fullback, so that versatility could win him a spot outright, but the most likely path involves Mixon being unavailable for Week 1.

Logs one catch in preseason loss
Brooks secured his only target for three yards during Saturday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Vikings.
Analysis: Brooks had his rookie year cut short after five regular-season appearances due to a torn meniscus, but he now appears back to full health. He faces tough competition for a reserve spot on the 53-man roster, with all of Woody Marks, Dare Ogunbowale, Jawhar Jordan and J.J. Taylor competing for opportunities behind Joe Mixon (foot), Nick Chubb (head) and Dameon Pierce.

Sent to injured reserve
The Texans placed Brooks (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday.
Analysis: Brooks suffered a knee injury in the Texans' Week 5 win over the Bills this past Sunday. He'll now miss a minimum of four games on the IR list. Brooks appeared in all five games for Houston to open the season, logging nine offensive snaps and another 79 on special teams.

Expects to move to IR
Brooks is expected to be placed on Houston's injured reserve list as he deals with a knee injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: The knee issue that he picked up during Sunday's game versus the Bills is apparently a serious one, and it looks like Brooks will have to miss at least four games as he recovers. He's made most of his contributions this year on special teams, so the Texans will need to try to find a way to replace his production in that phase in the meantime.

Not returning
Brooks (knee) has been ruled out for the remainder of Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Brooks will finish out Week 5 on the sidelines after operating as the team's No. 3 option in the backfield and seeing work on special teams.

Leaves game early
Brooks (knee) has exited Sunday's game against the Bills.
Analysis: Brooks has primarily worked on special teams, but he has seen a few snaps on offense with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) out of action. His absence may lead to extra opportunities for J.J. Taylor

Makes first appearance on offense
Brooks had one carry for two yards in Sunday's 34-7 loss to Minnesota.
Analysis: Brooks made his debut on offense after serving exclusively on special teams the first two weeks. Even with Joe Mixon (ankle) and Dameon Pierce (hamstring) inactive, Brooks only saw time in the backfield once the game became a blowout.

Survives roster cuts
Brooks made the Texans' initial 53-man roster Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Analysis: Brooks, an undrafted free agent out of North Carolina, was a long shot to make the roster heading into training camp but ended up securing a spot. Houston cut all three of its fullbacks and kept Brooks, who had a two-touchdown game against the Giants in the second week of the preseason. It's unclear how the Texans plan to use Brooks, as he could find himself as a healthy inactive on game days if he's unable to carve out a role on the Texans' special-teams units.

Scores twice late
Brooks rushed for 23 yards and two touchdowns on five carries in Saturday's preseason game against the Giants.
Analysis: Just like the first preseason game, all of Brooks' activity came in the fourth quarter, which holds more meaning than the two touchdowns. The undrafted free agent out of North Carolina is unlikely to make the roster but could hook on as a member of the practice squad.
