The Houston Texans will have their two-time Pro Bowl running back available for Saturday’s playoff game.
Joe Mixon (ankle) is active for Houston’s Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mixon was added to the team’s injury report on Wednesday with an ankle injury and was a limited participant. On Thursday, it appeared that the Texans RB might not play after not practicing and drawing a questionable designation for Saturday’s tilt.
Houston’s worries have ceased heading into its second playoff game.
