Houston head coach Lovie Smith said Wednesday that Collins' groin injury is not season ending and hopes to have wide receiver back "sooner than later," Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Collins missed the Texans' first Week 8 practice Wednesday in preparation for Sunday's tilt with the Titans. While Collins may miss some time with his groin injury, the Texans aren't yet ruling him out for Week 8. If Collins can't go this weekend, Phillip Dorsett will likely step in as Houston's No. 2 wideout.
