The Houston Texans are listing Joe Mixon as questionable for Saturday's divisional-round game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Mixon didn't practice Thursday after being a limited participant in Wednesday's session. He was a full go in the wild-card round, rushing for 106 yards and a touchdown on 25 carries versus the Los Angeles Chargers.
The 28-year-old missed three games during the regular season with an ankle injury. Houston went 2-1 in those contests.
Dameon Pearce and Dare Ogunbowale are expected to shoulder the load at running back if Mixon can't play.
Houston acquired Mixon in a trade with the Cincinnati Bengals in March. The Oklahoma product rushed for 1,016 yards and 11 touchdowns in 14 regular-season games.
