Colts Receive Encouraging News on Texans Star Ahead of Sunday

Houston will lean on Dalton Schultz and a deeper receiver group after Collins missed practice all week and sat out his second straight game.

  • The Houston Texans officially ruled out Pro Bowl wide receiver Nico Collins for Sunday's AFC South matchup against the Indianapolis Colts due to a hamstring injury.
  • Collins suffered a Grade 1 hamstring strain before Week 2's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, forcing him to miss practice throughout the week and remain sidelined for this second consecutive contest.
  • Quarterback C.J. Stroud threw for 353 yards in last week's 20-6 loss to Cincinnati, but Houston's offense failed to reach the end zone without their leading receiver.
  • With both teams entering at 0-2, tight end Dalton Schultz led the roster with 140 yards on 12 catches during the Bengals defeat and will likely see increased targets Sunday.
  • Collins' next opportunity to return arrives in Week 4 when Houston hosts the Dallas Cowboys, as the team navigates a challenging late-season schedule without their primary receiving threat.
