Houston Texans receiver Nico Collins returns to practice, but LB Azeez Al-Shaair out.
Nico Collins, who missed the previous two games, returned to practice but the Texans were missing linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, one of their top defenders.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins and guard Ed Ingram returned to practice on Wednesday, signaling a positive update for the team. However, linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, who had missed the previous two games due to a groin injury, did not take part in the workout. Coach DeMeco Ryans expressed hope that both Collins and Ingram could recover in time for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
Al-Shaair's absence would significantly impact the Texans' defense, which has struggled without key players like Collins and Ingram. The team recently placed defensive tackle Mario Edwards on injured reserve after tearing his ACL in last Sunday's game against the Colts. To compensate for the loss, the Texans signed defensive end Chris Braswell from their practice squad.
The team also added running back Dare Ogunbowale from the Raiders' practice squad, bringing him back to the organization after five seasons.
