After a bitter defeat at the hands of the Baltimore Ravens in Week 11, the Houston Texans will want to bounce back and win against the Indianapolis Colts in their “Thursday Night Football” matchup. They might get that win as Will Fuller will most likely suit up and re-enforce the Houston offense.
According to Ed Werder of ESPN, the Texans are “confident” that Fuller will return to action for the game. If back, it will be Fuller's first game since sustaining a hamstring pull in Week 7, which was, interestingly, also played against the Colts.
Fuller is in his fourth season with the Texans but still hasn't produced the necessary numbers to convince the team to give him a fresh contract after the 2020 season — largely in-part due to injuries. Through seven games, he has caught 34 passes for 450 yards and three receiving touchdowns.
Fuller is yet to live up to the lofty expectations that were set upon him when the team used their 21st overall pick on him in 2016. His lack of availability is troublesome for the Texans.
However, Fuller has shown glimpses of greatness whenever he manages to stay healthy on the field. His speed, chemistry with Deshaun Watson and developed route running adds an extra bit of explosiveness to the Texans offense.
Fuller's injury history has been a point of contention among Texans fans, and many of them are questioning whether he has what it takes to help the Texans rise to the next level consistently. Luckily, he is slated to help Houston on Thursday.
