The Houston Texans are looking strong as they prepare for their AFC Divisional Round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs. After concerns surrounding injuries to key players, running back Joe Mixon and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair are confirmed to play, according to sources. Mixon, who recently impressed with his performance against the Los Angeles Chargers, has been nursing an ankle injury, while Al-Shaair has dealt with a knee issue. Both players are essential to the Texans' strategy as they seek to capitalize on their recent momentum against the defending Super Bowl champions.

The Texans finished the regular season strong, winning 10 games and capturing the AFC South title. Despite entering the postseason as underdogs, they have shown resilience, particularly after a convincing Wild Card victory over the Chargers. However, they face a tough challenge in Arrowhead Stadium, where they previously lost to the Chiefs. The Texans will need their star players at peak performance to continue their playoff run.
