Cleared to play vs. Kansas City Anderson (chest) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Chiefs.

Impact Anderson produced a DNP-LP-FP practice log during Week 14 prep and has progressed enough in his recovery from a chest injury to fade an injury tag for Sunday's contest. The third-year pass rusher has accumulated 40 tackles (25 solo), including 10.5 sacks, three pass defenses, three forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries through 12 regular-season games.

Limited in practice Anderson (chest) was limited in practice Thursday.

Impact Anderson appeared on the injury report last Thursday with a chest injury. However, it did not seem to impact his snap count in Week 13 versus the Colts. The 24-year-old's limited participation in practice Thursday is a positive sign for his availability in Sunday night's matchup against Kansas City. The third-year pro has 40 tackles (25 solo), three pass breakups and 10.5 sacks in 12 games this season.

Back on injury report Anderson (chest) did not practice Wednesday.

Impact Anderson popped up on the injury report with the chest injury last Thursday, ahead of the Texans' Week 13 win over the Colts. He still played a normal allotment of snaps and logged four tackles, so there's minimal concern about his availability for a Week 14 matchup against the Chiefs at this point in the week.

Doesn't practice Thursday Anderson (chest) did not practice Thursday.

Impact Anderson was absent from the injury report Wednesday before appearing Thursday with a chest injury, but it is unclear where he sustained it. The defensive end is coming off a dominant performance against the Bills on Thursday Night Football, and his potential absence for Sunday's divisional matchup with the Colts would be a heavy blow to the Texans' defense.
