Collins expected back as Texans face Cowboys
Houston receiver Nico Collins completed a full week of practice after missing the previous two games with a hamstring injury.
Nico Collins is expected to return for Houston’s Week 4 game against Dallas after missing the Texans’ previous two matches with a hamstring injury sustained in practice before Week 2.
Yahoo Sports reported on 2 October that Collins completed a full week of practice and had no injury designation ahead of the game. His availability remains an expectation; the report does not confirm whether he ultimately took the field.
Collins’ absence coincided with a drop in Houston’s scoring, from 31 points in Week 1 to 23 combined across Weeks 2 and 3, according to the report.
The report describes Collins as a Pro Bowler in each of the previous two seasons and says he exceeded 1,000 receiving yards in each of the previous three.
Houston linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair was ruled out, according to a social media post embedded in the report.
