This is clearly very good news. Things with Houston seem to be going as well as they reasonably could. It’s not clear yet whether he will play this weekend against the Panthers. 8 would be fine waiting one more week when the Chiefs are back at home. That might be a better place to get back into the swing of things. If he does play this weekend it could be for a fewer number of snaps as he comes back. The ultimate goal remains getting healthy for January.
