Justin Houston had knee scoped to 'fix' ACL
Will Justin Houston be ready for the start of the regular season?
Kansas City Chiefs trainer Rick Buckholder told reporters Tuesday that Houston had his ACL "fixed" in February, per the team's official website. The linebacker's ACL wasn't torn, but was not functioning properly.
Buckholder added that Houston has a six to 12 month recovery.
The optimistic recovery time would put the Pro Bowl linebacker back in mid-August by the earliest. He will likely spend training camp on the PUP list.
"It's too early to be able to tell," coach Andy Reid said of whether Houston would be ready for the season.
Added Reid: " We're hoping he'll be able to play this season."
