Nico Collins Fails to Practice on Thursday, Leaving Doubt for Week 8 Availability
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (concussion) remains in the league's concussion protocol after failing to practice on Thursday. With Collins' injury coming on Monday night, it leaves a slim likelihood of clearing protocol in time for Sunday's game. The team enters a Week 8 matchup with the 49ers with the possibility of being without both Collins and Christian Kirk (hamstring). The Texans have struggled to get C.J. Stroud and the passing game going, even when healthy, averaging just 198.2 passing yards per game. If their primary wide receivers are unavailable, the team would likely focus on Dalton Schultz and Jayden Higgins in Week 8. Xavier Hutchinson is another player likely to see an increased target share in the event of a missed start for Collins.
