— -- INDIANAPOLIS -- Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Tamba Hali was active and played in Saturday's wild-card round playoff game against the Colts.

Hali, who had 11 sacks this season, did not play in last week's game and did not practice this week because of swelling in his knee.

The Chiefs also welcomed back their other leading pass rusher, linebacker Justin Houston.

Houston hasn't played since dislocating his elbow in a Nov. 24 game against San Diego. Houston also had 11 sacks this season despite playing in only 11 games.
