Running back Joe Mixon s dealing with an ankle injury entering Saturday’s divisional-round matchup against the Chiefs.

If the Texans are going to take out the Chiefs, they need running back Joe Mixon to take it up a notch. That might be a challenge. He’s questionable for Saturday’s game with an ankle injury. The injury apparently happened at practice on Wednesday, since he wasn’t on Tuesday’s report. And he didn’t practice at all on Thursday.
