Houston Texans head coach Bill O'Brien says that wide receiver Will Fuller will be a game-time decision for his team's Divisional Round playoff matchup against the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, according to Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle.
Fuller did not play in the Texans' Wild Card Round win over the Buffalo Bills due to a groin injury. He initially suffered the injury back in Week 16 and missed Houston's regular-season finale as a result.
The 25-year-old is certainly no stranger to injuries, as he has yet to play a full season since entering the NFL.
Fuller, who played his collegiate football at Notre Dame, was originally selected by the Texans in the first round (21st pick overall) of the 2016 NFL Draft.
He played in 14 games during his rookie campaign, catching 47 passes for 635 yards and a couple of scores. That remains his healthiest season to date.
The following year, Fuller was limited to just 10 contests, logging 28 catches for 423 yards while reaching the end zone seven times. Then, in 2018, a torn ACL cut Fuller's season short after just seven games, and he finished with 32 grabs for 503 yards and four touchdowns.
Hamstring and groin issues resulted in him playing just 10 games this season, and when he was on the field, he hauled in 49 receptions for 670 yards and three scores.
Talent and production is clearly not the issue with Fuller, but if he can't stay on the field, it doesn't matter all that much.
Of course, the key thing now is having him on the field against the Chiefs.
