Will Fuller on Texans' season-opener: 'I'm ready'

Eleven months after Texans wide receiver Will Fuller tore his anterior cruciate ligament against the Miami Dolphins, the former Notre Dame standout is primed to make his return against the New Orleans Saints

Fuller didn't play in any preseason games, but has practiced throughout training camp and is set to have his usual role opposite All-Pro DeAndre Hopkins.

"I'm ready, I feel real good," Fuller said. "We got some good work out there. I felt good out there. I'm excited to get back and play in a game."

One of the most dangerous deep threats in the NFL, the former first-round draft pick caught 32 passes for 503 yards and four touchdowns in seven games last season before being placed on injured reserve last season.
