Texans Face Chiefs with Key Players Questionable

The Houston Texans are facing a challenging AFC divisional playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs, with key players including running back Joe Mixon listed as questionable due to an ankle injury sustained during practice. Mixon's potential absence could impact the Texans' offensive strategy, as he played a crucial role in their previous victory over the Los Angeles Chargers by rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown. If Mixon is unable to play, backups Dameon Pierce and Dare Ogunbowale will likely step in. Other players on the Texans' injury report include wide receiver Robert Woods (hip), linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), and tight end Teagan Quitoriano (calf), all of whom are also questionable for Saturday's game. Meanwhile, the Chiefs enter the game well-rested and without major injury concerns, prepared to leverage their playoff experience at Arrowhead Stadium.
