Chargers' Rivers Set for Another Start Despite Flu Bout

San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers was set for his 157th consecutive start Sunday at Kansas City despite a bout with the flu, and New York Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis was active against Tennessee after missing two games with a concussion.

Rivers will be without receivers Stevie Johnson (groin) and Dontrelle Inman (neck) against the Chiefs, who are missing All-Pro pass rusher Justin Houston because of a hyperextended left knee.

Revis returned to practice during the week and was a full participant Friday, but needed to pass one more test in the NFL's concussion protocol to be cleared to play Sunday.
