Justin Houston believed to have PCL sprain

On Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs beat the Buffalo Bills 30-22 but also sustained a major scare in the first half. On an innocent looking play, outside linebacker Justin Houston was inadvertently leg-whipped by safety Ron Parker, hitting Houston square in the knee.

Houston’s knee bent back awkwardly and he went down immediately before gingerly walking to the locker room. The initial fear from most fans and onlookers was that Houston tore his ACL or another ligament in his knee, but luckily, that does not appear to be the case.
