The Houston Texans are relatively healthy heading into Saturday’s wild-card round against the Los Angeles Chargers.
Among starters, offensive lineman Shaw Mason is the only player out for Houston’s offense. Defensively, the Texans will be without linebacker Devin White, defensive tackle Kurt Hinish and defensive end Jerry Hughes.
Los Angeles will be down two offensive starters for Saturday’s 3:30 p.m. showdown. Wide receiver Joshua Palmer and guard Trey Pipkins are inactive with foot and oblique injuries.
Palmer has been the No. 3 option in the passing attack for Justin Herbert behind breakout rookie Ladd McConkey and Quentin Johnston. His absence might make the Chargers move McConkey outside of his typical slot position.
In the slot, the Chargers will turn to veteran D.J. Chark. He started last week in a win over the Las Vegas Raiders.
Here’s a list of the inactive for both teams.
