Limited in Wednesday's practice Al-Shaair (knee) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.

Impact Al-Shaair is managing a knee injury that he picked up during the Texans' AFC wild-card win over the Chargers this past Saturday. He was able to log a limited session Wednesday after being a DNP on Tuesday, but unless he suffers a setback he is expected to play in the Texans' AFC divisional-round clash against the Chiefs on Saturday, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. Al-Shaair would likely avoid an injury designation all altogether if he were to practice in full Thursday.

Managing knee injury Al-Shaair didn't practice Tuesday due to a knee injury.

Impact Al-Shaair played all but one defensive snap in Houston's wild-card win over the Chargers on Saturday, but he appears to have hurt his knee during the contest The veteran linebacker missed three games with a knee issue earlier in the campaign, which adds an extra element of concern about his current injury. Al-Shaair's practice status Wednesday and Thursday should shed more light on his likelihood of playing Saturday against the Chiefs in the AFC divisional round. Devin White and Neville Hewitt would be the primary candidates for an increased role if Al-Shaair is unable to suit up.
