Oct 29, 2025, 2:45 PM ET

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins (concussion) returned to practice as he continues to progress through concussion protocol ahead of the team's Week 9 matchup with the Denver Broncos. The 3-4 Texans hope to have their leading receiver back ahead of a difficult test against the stout Broncos secondary. Through six games, Collins has tallied 26 receptions for 339 yards and three touchdowns. Collins' availability could be a major blow to the usage of Jayden Higgins and Jared Wayne, who filled in during the team's victory over the 49ers last week. UPDATE: Collins remains in the concussion protocol, but he's expected to be cleared in the next few days. He was limited in Wednesday's practice.--Shaun Albin
