The Kansas City Chiefs are gearing up to play the Houston Texans this weekend, but an ankle injury sustained by star quarterback Patrick Mahomes looms large over the defending Super Bowl champions’ Week 16 matchup.
Though Mahomes is expected to play through his ankle injury, Texans defensive tackle Tim Settle used his time with the media to clarify that Houston isn’t worried about facing the reigning Super Bowl MVP.
In an interview on Wednesday, Settle was asked about facing Mahomes and the Chiefs’ offensive line, and he had some interesting comments to make about Kansas CCity.
The fifth-round pick did not hold back when discussing Saturday’s game, saying:
“I don’t know if he [Mahomes] is playing or not, but I hope he’s mobile enough cause we coming at Arrowhead.”
Take a look at Settle’s interview, which was posted by user @sidelinesarah on Twitter:

Though the Chiefs’ offensive line has struggled to keep Mahomes upright in recent weeks, Settle’s confidence may be misplaced, given the two-time MVP’s 2-1 record against Houston in his career.
