Chiefs outside linebacker Justin Houston's rehab from a torn anterior cruciate ligament continues to go well, it appears.
"We'll just keep practicing him _ we'll see how he does," Chiefs coach Andy Reid said of Houston, who returned to practice last week after spending the first six weeks of the season on the physically-unable-to-perform list. "He's not there yet, but he did look good last week. We'll take it day-by-day and see how he does."
Reid said Houston needs to keep playing and getting acclimated to the game.
"It's getting acclimated back into a simple thing as just having the pads on and moving around at the speed the guys are moving around out there," Reid said. "You can't get that in rehab _ you have to get everything adjusted, and he's doing that. He works very hard."
When asked directly if Houston has a chance to play in the Chiefs' next game _ Sunday on the road at Indianapolis _ Reid downplayed the possibility.
"I'd say he probably wouldn't," Reid said. "But we'll see how it goes."
