An essential piece for the Kansas City Chiefs offense is expected back in the lineup on Christmas Day against the Las Vegas Raiders.

The Houston Texans gave themselves a confidence boost winning without injured quarterback C.J. Stroud and several other key players. In the process, the Texans took a step toward possibly ending their playoff drought under first-year coach DeMeco Ryans. Ka'imi Fairbairn kicked a 54-yard field goal as time expired in overtime and the Texans — with backup Case Keenum at quarterback — rallied from a 13-point deficit to beat the Tennessee Titans 19-16 Sunday.

Jerami Grant could return to the Portland Trail Blazers on Saturday against the Dallas Mavericks.

The Texans announced Saturday that the star rookie quarterback did not travel with the team to Tennessee and would miss the game. Stroud was injured in last Sunday’s 30-6 loss to the Jets when his head bounced off the turf after taking a hit with about 6 ½ minutes left in the fourth quarter. With Stroud out, the Texans (7-6) will look to Davis Mills or Case Keenum to start against the Titans.

The Kansas City Chiefs will be without two offensive starters for Sunday's game against the New England Patriots.
