WHITE SULPHUR SPRINGS, W.Va. -- Houston Texans wide receiver Will Fuller broke his collarbone in practice Wednesday and is out indefinitely.

Texans coach Bill O'Brien said that his season is not over.

"Any time you lose a starter, it's not great. But at the same time, it's the NFL. Injuries happen and you move forward," he said. "I think Will was having a good camp. He won't miss the season. He'll be back eventually. It's not a season-ending injury. The next guy has to step up. Guys. Multiple guys. We've got a lot of guys in that room that are talented. ... Will [Fuller] will be back before you know it."

Fuller, the Texans' No. 2 receiver, jumped to catch a pass during a team drill and fell on his shoulder. He was looked at immediately and taken inside.

Earlier in the practice, Fuller showed his speed by running for an easy touchdown after quarterback Tom Savagefound him in stride on the left side of the field.

Fuller had 47 receptions for 635 yards and 2 touchdowns in 2016, his rookie season.

Earlier in the week, Fuller said he had a "tough" rookie season and was looking forward to being more comfortable on the field in Year 2.
