Posey underwent surgery for Achilles on 1/19
DeVier Posey - WR - Houston Texans
Jan. 31, 2013 - 6:55 PM ET

Texans WR DeVier Posey underwent surgery for his torn Achilles' tendon on January 19.

Posey says the injury happened as he was running down field, then the tendon snapped as he was trying to stop and come back on a route. He called the injury "a blessing in disguise" because he won't have to miss any "official" games. That means Posey is planning on being ready for Week 1, but we'd say his chances of even being much of a factor in 2013 are slim.
