Texans Will Fuller Breaks Collarbone During Drills

WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W. Va— The injury bug took a big bite out the Houston Texans receiving corps with 2nd year receiver Will Fuller going down with a broken collarbone Wednesday during practice.

Fuller, who is known for his speed, as the Texans first round draft pick in 2016 and was projected to start opposite DeAndre Hopkins this season.

Fuller was injured Wednesday morning when he went up to catch a pass, and fell on his shoulder hard, KPRC reported.

Fuller, who is expected to undergo surgery to repair the collarbone, will be out between 8 to 12 weeks, according to a Houston Chronicle report.

He missed two full games with a knee injury in his rookie season and caught 47 passes.

Braxton Miller and Jaelen Strong should see significant playing time as a result.
