Will Fuller has had a tough time avoiding injuries during his career, and the wideout is dealing with a new ailment. Fuller broke a finger during Sunday’s loss to the Colts “and is expected to be week-to-week,” reports NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport (via Twitter).

Fuller has missed a long list of games throughout his career (29 regular-season contests, to be exact). That includes two games earlier this season; Fuller missed Week 1 while serving a suspension, and he missed the next game due to a non-injury-related reason. Now, he’ll miss at least another game thanks to a broken finger.

Fuller inked a one-year, $10.6 million deal with the Dolphins this past offseason. The 27-year-old was coming off his best professional season, as he finished with a career-high 879 receiving yards and career-high eight scores in only 11 games with the Texans. Through two games this season, the receiver has hauled in only four receptions for 26 yards.

The Dolphins offense is hurting at the moment with quarterback Tua Tagovailoa on injured reserve. With Fuller out of the lineup, backup QB Jacoby Brissett will be targeting the likes of sixth overall pick Jaylen Waddle, DeVante Parker and 2020 opt-out Albert Wilson.
