Husain Abdullah, Dee Ford active for Chiefs
On Saturday, the Kansas City Chiefs are getting back a key member of the secondary. After missing multiple weeks with a concussion, safety Husain Abdullah is back in action, officially active. The Chiefs will be without center Mitch Morse (concussion) but will have right tackle Jah Reid, and outside linebackers Dee Ford, Justin Houston and Tamba Hali.
This is great news for Kansas City, since Abdullah is such a great, versatile player in the back end. Abdullah will likely be brought on a blitz or two while playing both man and zone defense in the corner and safety role. In 2013, Abdullah had two interceptions in the playoffs against the Indianapolis Colts.
On the other side, the Houston Texans are missing a key players. The most notable is 2014 first-overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, who is still dealing with a foot injury. Clowney was questionable but could not play something that hurts the run defense more than anything else.

LB - J. Tuggle
OT - A. McDonald
TE - G. Graham
LB - J. Clowney
DE - J. Pagan
Apparently, the decision by head coach Bill O’Brien really pissed off Clowney, who reportedly acted like an idiot.
