He is expected to play against the Houston Texans on Saturday in the AFC divisional playoff game. It&#8217;s good timing\u2014the Chiefs could really use their star defensive player on their journey to attempt to win three Super Bowls in a row.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI feel really, really good,\u201d Jones said. \u201cI was able to get three weeks of rest and get my legs back under me. It was a long season. Fortunate enough we were able to seal the first-round bye after the Pittsburgh [Steelers] game and I was able to take another week off. So, I basically got like two-to-three bye weeks. I feel really good, I feel excited, ready to go play some football.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jones totaled five sacks, nine tackles for loss and 20 quarterback hits in 15 games this season.<\/p>\n<p>The six-time Pro Bowler sounds ready to help out his Chiefs at GEHA Field at Arrowhead Stadium on Saturday.
