Justin Houston is back. Now what?
Houston, the Chiefs’ Pro Bowl outside linebacker, is practicing and pointing toward returning to action in Sunday’s game at Carolina.
Houston’s next snap will be his first since the Chiefs’ playoff loss at New England. He missed the final five games of the regular season because of a knee injury and while he tried to play in the postseason, he wasn’t the same.
“I was told when it happened it was my choice,” Houston said. “The coaches … never made me go back out there. I wanted to be out there with my team.
