Texans WR Collins Sidelined by Hamstring Injury
25 Sep
Summary
- Nico Collins missed Week 2 due to a hamstring injury.
- Collins' hamstring injury puts his streak of 1000-yard seasons at risk.
- Dalton Schultz has emerged as a key receiver for the Texans.
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is facing a potential absence from Sunday's Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts due to a hamstring injury.
Collins, who recorded 75 receiving yards and a touchdown in Week 1, missed the Texans' Week 2 matchup. His status for the upcoming game remains uncertain after he was listed as Did Not Participate in Thursday's practice, marking his second consecutive day sidelined.
This injury puts Collins' streak of three consecutive 1,000-yard receiving seasons in jeopardy. The 27-year-old's absence has led to increased targets for other receivers like Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson. However, tight end Dalton Schultz has been a primary target, amassing 175 receiving yards on 16 receptions so far this season.
If Collins is ruled out for the Colts game, the Texans will host the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4, which could be his earliest opportunity to return. Collins also had a contract adjustment with the Texans during the offseason.
