00:00But Cole Hardman logged limited practices all week.

00:03Will he be activated for the game?

00:04Or are they going to save him?

00:07Well, I think it's a coaching decision.

00:09I think he's ready to be activated.

00:11Remember, when you're talking about an upper body chest

00:13injury, his legs are good.

00:15He's been there.

00:16I think it's just a matter of what Andy Reid wants to do.

00:18But he's ready to go.

00:20What about Jalen Watson?

00:23Well, he's been full practice, so he should be good to go.

00:27The question is, is he good for 50 plays or 25, right?

00:32And Chris Jones coming off the rest with his calf

00:35is going to be good to go.

00:36That's a big help for the Chiefs defense.

00:38What about Mahomes off of his numerous ankle problems?

00:43Yeah, I've been asked that from a lot of people.

00:46What about Mahomes and his rust?

00:47And what about his ankle?

00:48I'm like, the improvement of the ankle

00:51outweighs any potential rust.

00:54First of all, Mahomes doesn't really have rust, right?

00:56Mahomes magic.

00:57But his ankle, his high ankle, should be near 100%,

01:01which is bad news for the Texans.

01:04What about Joe Mixon for the Texans?

01:06Because he was limited, and then he was not

01:09even at practice this week.

01:12Well, here's what that means.

01:15Nothing on Wednesday, limited Thursday, out Friday.

01:18That means he got hurt Thursday in practice.

01:22There's no film.

01:23He's had ankle injuries before.

01:25It's a playoff game.

01:27I think he plays, but I think he's

01:28going to be less than 100% when he does play.

01:32And Shaq Mason, obviously, is not really back fully yet

01:35either.

01:36And that's been a big difference maker for Mixon on the ground.

01:39Robert Woods and Al Shayer are both listed as questionable,

01:42but Woods didn't practice, and Al Shayer only

01:46got to limited practice.

01:47Did either of them get on the field?

01:51Well, I think they're both going to play.

01:53Robert Woods is going to play.

01:54It's always vet rest for him and Al Shayer.

01:57The other, the linebacker, look, it's a playoff game.

02:00He's got a high motor.

02:01He's going to try and play as well.
