Chiefs vs Texans final injury report: Latest status updates, news for Week 16

The Houston Texans hit the road to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Week 16 with a chance to secure their 10 regular-season win in 2024.

On Thursday, Houston held its final practice of the week and revealed its final injury report for the matchup between the two AFC playoff-bound rosters.

For Kansas City, quarterback Patrick Mahomes and wide receiver Marquise "Hollywood" Brown cleared the list, meaning they'll suit up Saturday at Arrowhead Stadium with a chance to inch closer to securing the No. 1 overall seed in the AFC.

For the Texans, they'll be playing short-handed at multiple positions and could have a player be a game-time decision addition. Here are all of the players listed on the Texans' final injury report entering a potential playoff preview:
