Texans Get Good News With Nico Collins Injury Update
Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins returned to Houston Texans practice on Wednesday.
The Houston Texans, who have struggled this NFL season, received some positive news on Wednesday as star wide receiver Nico Collins returned to practice. Collins has been sidelined by a hamstring injury for the past two games, as the Texans and Los Angeles Chargers join the list of disappointing teams entering Week 4. Despite the setback, Collins showed his resilience by taking part in practice sessions, which could see him donning the Texans' jersey in their upcoming matchup against the Dallas Cowboys.
The 27-year-old wideout, who was named to the Pro Bowl twice during the 2023 and 2024 seasons, has been a standout performer for the Texans since his third NFL season. In 2023, Collins reached career highs with 80 receptions, 1,297 receiving yards, and eight touchdowns, earning his first two Pro Bowl nods in 2024 and 2025. As a prime target for Texans quarterback C.J.
Stroud, Collins has consistently contributed to the team's offense throughout his career, despite being plagued by injuries in his early NFL years. This season marks his sixth consecutive season where he has missed at least two games due to injuries, including a concussion that kept him out of Houston's AFC Divisional Round playoff loss against the New England Patriots.
In Week 1, Collins had a standout performance against the Buffalo Bills, setting game highs in targets, receptions, receiving yards, and scoring a touchdown.
