Houston Texans Pro Bowl running back Joe Mixon (ankle) is expected to play in Saturday's Divisional Round game against the Kansas City Chiefs, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per sources.

Running back Joe Mixon was added to the injury report on Thursday with an ankle injury that kept him from practicing on Friday, but it doesn't look like the team will have to make plans for life without him against the Chiefs.

The Kansas City Chiefs are set to return to action and square off against the Houston Texans in their divisional round matchup on Saturday afternoon. There have been some big injury storylines worth monitoring throughout the week, and it looks like Houston is set to get a pair of big boosts for this game.

Mixon presents a difficult look for the Chiefs. He is strong between the tackles but also has the ability to create havoc as a pass catcher. The Texans will be missing slot receiver Tank Dell due to an injury suffered at KC in Week 16 and could rely on Mixon to absorb some of those intermediate routes.
