It’s fall in Houston, Texas. The air is crisp. The leaves are turning. The Astros are... something... and Will Fuller V has another significant injury.
The fourth-year wide receiver is no doubt an incredibly dynamic presence, as evidenced by steep offensive performance drop-offs in past seasons when he’s missed time. But this is beyond maddening.
It was announced in April that the Texans picked up Fuller’s 5th-year option in 2020 for just over $10 million. Similarly, the Texans picked up Kevin Johnson’s 5th-year option for 2019 in April of 2018, but they cut Johnson in March 2019.
