One player not on the list is Keke Coutee who at times this season has been a healthy stratch, and if is official Will Fuller is back from injury as well. Having Fuller back for this playoff game — which is his playoff debut — as he’s an X-Factor for the Texans in this game against Kansas City.

CB Morris Claiborne
DL Chris Jones
OL Jackson Barton
QB Chad Henne
OL Andrew Wylie
OL Ryan Hunter
LB Darron Lee
Chris Jones being out of the lineup for the Chiefs is huge for both sides, as Jones this season can disrupt an offense with his talents. This season Jones as nine sacks, so not having him pressure Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson is an important aspect of this game.
This seems like most of the players for the Texans are going to be on the field who are difference makers, so even with The Action Network having the Texans a +10 underdogs, there is a realistic opportunity for the Texans to make this a very competitive game.
