Texans RB Vernand Morency has participated at training camp.

Morency appears to be over the plantar fascia that forced him to miss OTAs. Domanick Davis’ knee injury will help his quest for playing time. Morency is reportedly picking up the offense and could battle for the backup job.

Texans RB Vernand Morency is reportedly doing a better job adapting to Houston’s new blocking scheme.

With Domanick Davis a major question mark, Morency has a chance for fantasy relevance if he can ditch his shake-and-bake style. The Texans prefer a one-cut style and veteran Antowain Smith probably has the edge over Morency right now.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak believes Vernand Morency is a poor fit for the team’s one-cut running style.

“He’s more of a shifty-type runner, and that’s not what we want him to do,” Kubiak said of Morency. “We tell them they get one cut and then they have to get the ball downfield.” The Houston Chronicle says Morency is competing for the No. 3 running back job, not the backup job.

Texans coach Gary Kubiak says Vernand Morency has improved his “downhill” running and pass protection skills.

Morency exploded in Houston’s second preseason game and could team with Wali Lundy to form an unheralded running back committee in Houston. Watch their third preseason game closely to see what the team plans to do. Morency could be worth a flier in fantasy leagues.

Texans RB Vernand Morency missed practice Monday with a bruised leg.

Morency is back on the fantasy radar after his impressive preseason debut this weekend. He’s probably day-to-day, but time missed won’t help him as he competes for time with rookie tailback Wali Lundy.

Vernand Morency returned to Texans practice Wednesday.

It will be key to watch how Morency and Wali Lundy are used this weekend. We’d guess they will be rotated, but it’s possible Lundy still has the upper hand in the battle for the team’s starting job.

Houston RB Vernand Morency rushed for 95 yards on 11 carries, with two touchdowns and three catches Saturday night.

Morency went untouched on a 43-yard sprint for a score in the third quarter. The effort could very well keep the third-down back on the roster, making him someone to watch pending the uncertain health of Domanick Davis.

Texans RB Vernand Morency will get his first preseason action Saturday.

He’s battling Wali Lundy, Antowain Smith, and Chris Taylor to pick up carries with Domanick Davis out. Smith may not play at all this weekend because the Texans want to see which young players step up.

Vernand Morency missed recent OTAs with plantar fascitis.

This helps explain his slide down the depth chart and the injury is worrisome because it often lingers for a season. The new coaching staff has been impressed with Antowain Smith and rookie Wali Lundy, which doesn’t bode well for Morency.

Vernand Morency is expected to remain Houston’s No. 2 back for now.

Despite the acquisition of Ron Dayne, Morency is still worth grabbing in the late rounds of fantasy drafts. If Wali Lundy gets hurt or isn’t productive in the early part of the season, Morency could get a shot to start.
