Starting wide receiver Robert Woods could be absent when the Houston Texans face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC divisional round of the NFL playoffs this Saturday after he was listed with an injury this week. Here is the latest on Woods’ status ahead of the game:
The wide receiver injury report is bare this week. That's great news for NFL fans, who want to see the best of the best compete in the postseason. However, there's one big name whose availability is in question.
The AFC divisional round has not been kind to the Houston Texans throughout their history.  The Texans are 0-5 all-time in the second round and remain the only team in the NFL to never win a playoff road game.
Woods caught two of four targets for 22 yards and returned one punt for 10 yards in Houston's 32-12 win over the Chargers in wild-card round last Saturday.
Woods caught two of three targets for a team-high 39 yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over Tennessee in Week 18.
Defensively, Houston listed linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair as "Questionable" for Saturday with a knee injury. Al-Shaair, who racked up 70 tackles in 11 games this season, didn't play against the Chiefs back in Week 16 due to a league suspension. 2. Houston has thrived off takeaways all season long.
The Texans did not downgrade running back Joe Mixon (ankle), linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair (knee), or receiver Robert Woods (hip) who are all questionable. Additionally, Houston has elevated fullback Andrew Beck and running back J.J. Taylor from the practice squad to the active roster for Saturday.
For the first time this year, the Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up for a playoff game as they continue their ongoing quest for a record third championship in a row. Standing in their way this Saturday are the Houston Texans, a feisty AFC South squad that just took on the reigning Super Bowl winners less than a month ago.
Three key players for the Houston Texans are listed as questionable heading into Saturday’s AFC Divisional Playoff Game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
