Texans' Nico Collins: Could miss two games
Collins may miss two games due to a hamstring injury, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins already has been ruled out for Sunday's game versus the Bengals as a result of the hamstring injury that he picked up at Wednesday's practice. The injury isn't considered to be a long-term concern, but as Wilson reports, the Texans could err on the side of caution and keep him out for Week 3 at Indianapolis as well to ensure the issue doesn't linger. In Collins' absence, Houston will roll with Xavier Hutchinson, Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel, Jared Wayne and practice-squad call-up Lewis Bond at wide receiver.

Texans' Nico Collins: Ruled out for Week 2
Collins (hamstring) will not play Sunday against the Bengals.
Collins injured his hamstring during Wednesday's practice and wasn't able to return Thursday or Friday. With his absence confirmed, the Texans have Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as their healthy options at wide receiver. Collins typically accounts for more than one-fourth of Houston's targets, so his absence also could push some volume toward the team's RBs and TEs.

Texans' Nico Collins: Not spotted at Friday's practice
Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the start of Friday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
With Collins now absent from the media-access portion of practice after being listed as a non-participant Thursday, his status for Sunday's game against the Bengals remains in doubt. The Texans' final injury report may offer more clarity Friday afternoon.

Texans' Nico Collins: Listed as non-participant
Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's injury report.
Collins injured his hamstring at Wednesday's practice, and although he was listed as limited on Houston's first practice report of the week, he was tagged as a 'DNP' a day later. He's believed to be dealing with a Grade 1 strain and reportedly is not facing an extended absence, but his availability for Week 2 will likely hinge on whether or not he can get any work in at Friday's session.

Texans' Nico Collins: Injury seemingly not serious
Collins met with doctors after injuring his hamstring at Wednesday's practice, and although the injury does not seem serious, his status for Week 2 "is in jeopardy," Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
There was concern about Collins' status after he popped up on Wednesday's injury report and was sent for tests on his injured hamstring, but the early indication is he is not dealing with a serious setback. Collins dealt with a hamstring issue in the past and will not be afforded much time before Sunday's matchup with the Bengals, so while the long-term outlook appears positive he could miss at least one game.

Texans' Nico Collins: Slated to sit out Thursday's practice
Collins (hamstring) wasn't on the field during the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Wilson relays that Collins has been diagnosed with a Grade 1 hamstring strain following an MRI, with the injury putting his availability "in jeopardy" for Sunday's game against the Bengals, according to Adam Schefter of ESPN. Collins will still have one more chance to mix into drills before the end of the week, but if he isn't able to practice in some capacity Friday, the Texans could rule him out ahead of Sunday.

Texans' Nico Collins: Slated for tests on hamstring injury
Collins is undergoing tests on a hamstring injury that limited him at Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins showed up out of the blue on the Texans' first Week 2 practice report, and the aforementioned testing will determine the severity of the injury. He previously missed five games during the 2024 season due to a hamstring issue, so Houston's decision to look into the current concern further is a prudent one. Collins' status will continue to be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of his ability to play Sunday versus the Bengals.

Texans' Nico Collins: Paces Houston with 75 receiving yards
Collins caught seven of 10 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown while adding a seven-yard run in Sunday's 36-31 loss to the Bills.
C.J. Stroud connected with Collins for a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter, marking the first touchdown of the season for both Houston's quarterback and the team's star wide receiver. Collins led the Texans in targets, catches and receiving yards Sunday after finishing as Houston's receiving yards leader in each of the previous three regular seasons.
