Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair are both set to play in Saturday's divisional playoff game at Kansas City, NFL Network reported.

The do-it-all running back for Houston was a late addition to the injury report this week, clouding his status for the weekend matchup in Kansas City. The Texans already have dealt with plenty of issues at the receiver spot this season, only adding more to Mixon's plate.

Joe Mixon had a huge Wild Card playoff game for the Houston Texans against the Los Angeles Chargers — he ran for 106 yards and touchdown on 25 carries. But an ankle injury popped up this week, with reports that he practiced a bit on Wednesday and wasn’t on the field for Thursday’s walkthrough, per Texans Wire.

Mixon has proven himself as a reliable workhorse in his first season as a Texan, totaling 245 carries, 1,016 yards, and 11 touchdowns. The Pro-Bowl running back has surpassed 100 rushing yards in eight games, including the playoffs, and earned his second Pro Bowl selection in his first year with the team.

Here’s who is out for the Houston Texans in Saturday’s divisional round matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Running back Joe Mixon's 13-yard TD run caps the Houston Texans' 15-play drive to start third quarter. Defensive tackle Tershawn Wharton notches Kansas City Chiefs' third sack of first half vs. Houston Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud.

The Houston Texans' 2024-25 season came to an end on Saturday following the loss the Kansas City Chiefs. The Houston Texans' incredible run during the 2024-25 season came to a close on Saturday, as the Kansas City Chiefs managed to take care of business at home, 23-14.

Kansas City rolled to a 23-14 victory Saturday that sent the two-time defending Super Bowl champions to the AFC title game for the seventh consecutive season.

The Chiefs will be hosting the AFC title game for the sixth time in seven years, and it will be a rematch from the regular season regardless of who visits. The Ravens lost 27-20 at Kansas City in the opening game of the NFL's 2024 schedule way back on Sept. 5, while the Bills won at home against the Chiefs, 30-21 on Nov. 17.

The NFL referees can make or break the game, and they certainly did that on Saturday and Joe Mixon was not happy about it. In the first quarter of Saturday’s playoff loss to the Kansas City Chiefs, Will Anderson got called for a controversial roughing the passer penalty on a sack of Patrick Mahomes. It led to three points.
