Houston Texans speedster Will Fuller will be a game-time decision for Sunday's divisional-round playoff game against the Kansas City Chiefs, head coach Bill O'Brien said Friday, though he remained optimistic about the receiver's availability.
"I think Will is trending - same as I said at the beginning of the week. I think it's really going to be a game-time decision," O'Brien said. "I think it's kind of like a daily process with him to see where he's at. He passes test after test and he communicates with us on how he's feeling.
"I think so far, so good, but I think it's going to be a game-time decision."
Fuller missed the Texans' dramatic wild-card victory over the Buffalo Bills due to a groin injury. He initially suffered the ailment in Week 16 and hasn't seen the field since.
He plays a vital role as the second option in Houston's receiving game opposite DeAndre Hopkins and the deep threat for quarterback Deshaun Watson. With Fuller sidelined, Kenny Stills was the Texans' second-leading receiver against the Bills with four catches for 46 yards.
Fuller's four-year career has been hampered by soft-tissue injuries. He's yet to play a full 16-game season, missing five contests in 2019.
The 25-year-old recorded 49 receptions for 670 yards and three touchdowns this season.
