Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller underwent surgery on Monday was a sports hernia suffered during the 2019 NFL season and later re-aggravated in the AFC South club's divisional-round loss to the Kansas City Chiefs two weeks ago.

According to the Houston Chronicle's Aaron Wilson on Twitter, Fuller, 25, is expected to make a full recovery after going under the knife to repair the groin injury.

A four-year veteran wideout, Fuller had a career year in 2019 for the Texans, who fell to the eventual conference champion Chiefs in the second round of the postseason one week after felling the No. 5 Buffalo Bills in the wild card round. Fuller caught a career-best 49 receptions for 670 yards in 11 games in the 2019 campaign, scoring three touchdowns in head coach Bill O'Brien's offense, led by star quarterback Deshaun Watson.

Fuller, a six-foot receiver selected by Houston in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, did not appear in the Texans' final game of the regular season in Week 17 against the division rival Tennessee Titans as well as missing the AFC Wild Card matchup with the Bills. Fuller appeared in Houston's 51-31 playoff loss to Kansas City, counting for five catches for 89 yards in the collapse at Arrowhead Stadium.

Fuller, in his time lining up in the Texans' offense, has developed as a nice second option in the receiving game for Watson behind star wideout DeAndre Hopkins. Hopkins led Houston's targets in 2019 with 104 catches for 1,165 yards, scoring seven touchdowns.
