KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Quarterback Patrick Mahomes will start for the Kansas City Chiefs in Saturday’s game against the Houston Texans at Arrowhead Stadium despite sustaining a high ankle injury last Sunday.
Mahomes has no injury status for the game.
Chiefs coach Andy Reid said earlier Thursday that Mahomes took a full practice workload Thursday, the Chiefs’ final session of the week. He also was a full practice participant in the Tuesday and Wednesday practices.
The Chiefs also ruled left tackle D.J. Humphries out of Saturday’s game. Humphries did not practice all week because of a hamstring injury that knocked him out of a Week 14 game against the Los Angeles Chargers. He did not play in last week’s win over the Cleveland Browns.
