The Houston Texans expect to have a player healthy for the divisional round who is critical to the success of their offense.

Speedy wide receiver Will Fuller missed a total of six games with an injury during the regular season. Most recently, Fuller missed his seventh game on the year — the wild-card game against the Buffalo Bills. Fuller is dealing with a groin injury, and for a receiver that relies heavily on his speed, this is a significant injury.

According to a new report from NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, Fuller is on track to suit up against the Kansas City Chiefs when Houston comes to town for the divisional round of the AFC playoffs. The only thing that would stop him from playing at this point is a setback. He’ll have to be eased into practice this week because the risk of reinjury is high.

Fuller’s presence is important for the Texans because he can stretch the field vertically. Teams will have to divide resources in the secondary rather than doubling WR DeAndre Hopkins on every play. Fuller’s presence is also noticeable in the box score. Houston averages over 100 yards more in the passing game, nearly a touchdown more and they convert more third downs when both Hopkins and Fuller are active. The Texans also had a losing record this season when Fuller didn’t play.

In the Texans’ first meeting with the Chiefs in Week 6, Kansas City held Fuller to five receptions on nine targets for 44 yards and Hopkins to nine receptions on 12 targets for 55 yards. The Chiefs secondary will need to have another game like that, effectively shutting down both.

Houston was also missing CB Johnathan Joseph against the Bills. Joseph started 11 games this season and is the team leader in passes defended. Against a healthy and high-octane offense like Kansas City’s, Joseph’s status is equally intriguing.
