The Kansas City Chiefs are still without pass rusher Justin Houston and left tackle Branden Albert for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts.

Houston has been out with a dislocated elbow and Albert has a hyperextended knee. Frank Zombo gets the start at outside linebacker and Donald Stephenson at left tackle.

The Colts are starting their seventh offensive line combination and fifth in as many weeks because of injuries. Left guards Hugh Thornton (neck) and Joe Reitz (concussion) and right guard Jeff Linkenbach (quadriceps) had been ruled out ahead of the game.

Anthony Castonzo is starting at left tackle, Xavier Nixon at left guard, Samson Satele at center, Mike McGlynn at right guard and Gosder Cherilus at right tackle.

Colts safety Greg Toler also is back after missing seven games.
