  "summary": "Nico Collins, the wide receiver for the Houston Texans, has missed five consecutive practices due to a hamstring injury, according to reports from Yahoo Sports. The wide receiver was absent from the team's practice on Thursday, as well as on Wednesday and during Week 2 when he was sidelined with the same injury. With a return to face the Indianapolis Colts scheduled for Sunday, the likelihood of Collins playing seems slim. The Houston Texans have not officially designated his injury status, with the announcement expected on Friday afternoon. The other receivers on the team's 53-man roster include Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jared Wayne.",
