FOXBOROUGH, Mass. -- Texans starting wide receiver Will Fuller is not expected to play Sunday against the New England Patriots due to a lingering hamstring strain he sustained during the preseason, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.

The thinking is that the Texans and Fuller don't want him to possibly aggravate the leg injury this early in the year and have it become a long-term issue this season.
