Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston was ruled out for the second half of Sunday's game against the Jacksonville Jaguars because of a hamstring injury.ย
Houston is familiar with the injury report.ย
The 29-year-old had his knee scopedย twoย summers ago to repair his ACL after he missed five games in 2015, but recovery and rehabilitation lasted longer than expected.ย As a result, Houston started the 2016 season on the physically unable to perform list and appeared in just five games.ย

Fortunately for the Chiefs, Houston rebounded and appeared in 15 games a season ago. Entering Week 5,ย Kansas City's top edge-rusher had logged threeย sacks, 11ย total tackles and two forced fumbles in 2018.ย
So long as Houston is on the shelf,ย Dee Fordย and 2017 second-round pickย Tanoh Kpassagnonย project as the Chiefs' primary contributors at outside linebacker. Second-round pickย Breeland Speaksย should also factor in as a rotational presence off the edge.ย
