KANSAS CITY, Mo. -- Linebacker Justin Houston hasn't played for the Chiefs since having surgery in February to repair a balky left ACL. But he said he expects himself to be in midseason form on Sunday when he makes his season debut against the Carolina Panthers.
"I expect what I normally do: dominate,'' said Houston, the Chiefs' leader in sacks in each of the last four seasons. He led the NFL with 22 sacks in 2014.
Houston returned to practice last month and was activated Wednesday off the physically unable to perform list, making him eligible to play for the first time at Carolina.
