From the video

the Texans are going to have a split backfield with David Montgomery and Woody Marks essentially splitting first team reps... David Montgomery has been an outstanding addition for us... the running back room as drastically improved by adding David Montgomery... he's all day tough... runs behind his pads... really good feel... takes a lot of pride in his route running.

Coach speak signals Montgomery as Texans lead back over Woody Marks

Despite beat reports of a split backfield with Woody Marks, coach speak from DeMeco Ryans and offensive coordinator Nick Caley strongly suggests Montgomery will operate as the lead back. Ryans stated the running back room is "drastically improved by adding David Montgomery," implying preference over other backs. Caley praised Montgomery's between-the-tackles running, pass protection, and pass-game refinement—skill sets the Texans need after Marks' inefficient 703-yard 2024 season. Montgomery's versatility across run, pass, and protection roles positions him as the primary back in a team that wants to "grind in between the tackles."
