Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Justin Houston (knee, PUP) is practicing Wednesday.
Houston is eligible to debut this week against the New Orleans Saints, but the Chiefs will likely err on the side of caution and take a similar approach to the one they've implemented with Jamaal Charles. Expect the Pro Bowl linebacker to return in Week 8 at the earliest.
Houston's return will be a huge boost to a Kansas City defense that currently ranks 30th in Defensive Net Expected Points allowed per play after you adjust for schedule.
