Houston Texans running back Joe Mixon and linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair are both set to play in Saturday's divisional playoff game at Kansas City, NFL Network reported.

Mixon was limited in practice this week with an ankle injury and Al-Shaair was limited with a knee issue.

Both were listed as questionable for the game against the Chiefs along with wide receiver Robert Woods (hip).

Mixon rushed for a team-high 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in his first season with the Texans, while Al-Shaair finished third on the team with 70 tackles to go along with two sacks and two forced fumbles.

In last weekend's 32-12 wild-card win against the Los Angeles Chargers, Mixon rushed for 106 yards and a TD and Al-Shaair collected six tackles and two quarterback hits.
