Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller is still battling a groin injury so will he be ready to play against the Buffalo Bills Saturday? Let’s take a look.
The HoustonTexansare in the postseason and their 2019 regular season campaign is over. The crusade is over and they’ve done the things that they’ve needed to do get into the playoffs. This is their 4th postseason berth in six seasons in theBill O’Brienera so obviously this is at least a stat to note.
There will be knocks about how weak the AFC South is but there’s plenty of parity within this division with all of the teams — the HoustonTexans, Jacksonville Jaguars, Indianapolis Colts and Tennessee Titans having some degree of talent on their respective rosters.
It just happened to be that the HoustonTexansmade the strongest push, even with a schedule that was a lot stronger than last season’s. I had expected them to finish 8-8 at best and 10-6 is where they ended up so it goes to show how much this team has grown as a collective unit.

So here were are — another week of uncertainty for Fuller and we shouldn’t be too surprised about it.
I’m positiveKenny Stills,Keke CouteeandDeAndre Carterwould fill-in for him just fine but it’s best to have the team’s fastest player out on the gridiron.
There’s hope but I won’t hold my breath…
Fuller, 25, has caught 49 balls for 670 yards — 13.7 yards per catch — along with three touchdowns this season coupled with a catch percentage of 60.9 through 11 starts this past season.
