While the Houston Texans offense has looked impressive in the last couple weeks, it will even get better with the news that wide receiver Will Fuller has returned to practice. Fuller has been sidelined with a hamstring injury since suffering the injury in Week 7's matchup against the Indianapolis Colts.

Although it is unclear how involved Fuller will be in next week's game or whether he will even play at all, his return to the team is an encouraging sign to a receiving core that already has one of the best receivers in the league in DeAndre Hopkins.
With next week being one of the most anticipated games of the season as Deshaun Watson will face off against the Lamar Jackson and the surging Baltimore Ravens, the Texans could really use Fuller.
Before his hamstring had failed him, Fuller had been a reliable deep ball threat for Watson that could space the field and open up gaps for other players. His 14 catches, 217 yards, and three-touchdown performance in Week 5 against the Arizona Cardinals sums up what Fuller can be at his best.
The Texans remain atop the AFC South at the moment but will have tough and meaningful games to play in the next three weeks, as they are scheduled to take on the Colts and Patriots after the Ravens.
While Fuller will be needed down the stretch in order for the Texans to make their playoff run, making sure he is healthy enough to take the field will be the Texans' priority.
