Texans' Azeez Al-Shaair: Ready to play Saturday

Al-Shaair (ankle) does not carry an injury designation for Saturday's game against the Chargers.

Al-Shaair began Week 17 prep with back-to-back limited practices before upgrading to full reps Thursday. After having been unavailable Week 16 versus the Raiders, he now stands to return to his usual every-down role at middle linebacker during Saturday's road game against Los Angeles.
