Linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair is dealing with a knee injury that saw him listed on the Houston Texans’ injury report this week.
Though Al-Shaair was able to play in the Texans’ wild-card game against the Los Angeles Chargers, the AFC South champions could be without a key member of their defense if he is unable to play against the Kansas City Chiefs on Saturday.
Will Al-Shaair’s knee injury affect his ability to participate in Houston’s AFC divisional-round playoff matchup against the Chiefs?

It is unclear whether Al-Shaair will play, though it wouldn’t be a surprise if he fights through pain to take the field, given that the Texans are facing elimination.
