Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston is probable for Saturday's AFC wild-card matchup against the Houston Texans.

This will be Houston's first action since hyperextending his knee in November. He was a full participant in Wednesday and Thursday's practice sessions, and said he would be available Saturday.

"That's the plan, to play,'' Houston said Wednesday, according to Adam Teicher of ESPN. "I've definitely got some rust to knock off. After the first quarter, I'll be all right.''

Despite missing the last five games, Houston leads the Chiefs with 7.5 sacks.

Fellow linebackers Tamba Hali and Dee Ford are both listed as questionable, and center Mitch Morse has been ruled out with a concussion.
