• Texans' Will Fuller: Officially placed on IR

  10/30/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  The Texans placed Fuller (knee) on injured reserve Tuesday. The transaction was destined to happen after Fuller suffered a torn ACL in his right knee last Thursday against the Dolphins. What wasn't guaranteed was a move to bolster the Texans' receiving corps in his absence. Beyond DeAndre Hopkins and the injured Keke Coutee (hamstring), Houston was thin at the position, boasting Sammie Coates and Vyncint Smith. As a result, the front office acquired Demaryius Thomas from the Broncos on Tuesday. Thomas' $14 million salary for 2019 isn't guaranteed, meaning this is more or less a rental while Fuller goes through his recovery.

• Texans' Will Fuller: Timeline set at 6-to-9 months

  10/28/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Fuller (knee) will undergo surgery within the next week to repair his torn right ACL and is expected to require 6-to-9 months to make a full recovery, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Given this timeline, Fuller is expected to be close to full strength when training camp gets underway next summer. That will likely put Fuller on track to enter the 2019 season without any restrictions, but his absence represents a major hit to a narrow Houston passing tree for the remainder of the current campaign. Coach Bill O'Brien has mentioned rookie Keke Coutee (hamstring) as a leading candidate to pick up targets with Fuller out, while the Houston tight ends could also see heightened involvement.

  Fuller will miss the rest of the season with a torn ACL. With Fuller done for the season, DeAndre Hopkins will continue to head the Texans' wideout corps, with Keke Coutee (hamstring) a candidate to see an expanded profile in the team's offense once he's healthy.

• Texans' Will Fuller: Torn ACL feared

  The Texans believe that Fuller tore his ACL on the play where he injured his right knee in Thursday night's win over the Dolphins, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle reports. Fuller will have an MRI on Friday to confirm the nature of his injury. This could be a devastating blow if true. Bruce Ellington (hamstring) is already out for the season and Keke Coutee missed this game with a hamstring injury.

• Texans' Will Fuller: Ruled out with knee injury

  10/26/2018 • By RotoWire Staff

  Fuller injured his knee in the fourth quarter of Thursday's game against the Dolphins and will not return. Fuller was underthrown by quarterback Deshaun Watson on a deep ball in the fourth quarter and came down clutching his knee. He was eventually able to walk off the field, so there will be hope that the electrifying wide receiver did not suffer anything serious. Fuller had a big game before exiting, hauling in five of his six targets for 124 yards and a touchdown, including a 73-yard deep shot in the third quarter. With Thursday's game well out of hand, the Texans could be holding the Notre Dame product out just to be cautious with him, but more information will be available postgame. The likes of Sammie Coates and Vyncint Smith could see an increased role behind DeAndre Hopkins and Keke Coutee (hamstring) if Fuller is out long-term.
