Chiefs RG Trey Smith (ankle) is also doubtful, and Chiefs LT Josh Simmons (wrist) was recently placed on injured reserve. The Texans’ pass rush generates pressure at the NFL’s second-highest rate (42.4 percent). This is a tough break for QB Patrick Mahomes. Expect him to funnel targets to WR Rashee Rice and TE Travis Kelce on short routes.
