Justin Houston is in line to make his season debut after undergoing offseason knee surgery.
The Kansas City Chiefs' Pro Bowl linebacker said he expects to make an immediate impression on the field Sunday versus the Carolina Panthers.
"I expect what I normally do. Dominate," Houston said Thursday, via ESPN.
Houston started the season on the physically unable to perform list. Wednesday marked the deadline to activate the linebacker or put him on the shelf for the season.
Last year Houston missed the final five games of the regular season before returning in the playoffs.
