Nico Collins (hamstring) will not play in Week 2
NBC Sports • • sports
Key Points:
- Texans wide receiver Collins is at risk of missing Week 2's game against the Bengals due to a grade one hamstring strain suffered during Wednesday's practice, having missed the last two practices.
- If Collins is sidelined, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte are expected to take on larger roles in the passing game, though neither currently projects beyond WR4 fantasy value.
- Collins has a history of soft tissue injuries, and despite the team's belief that the current injury is not serious, his status remains uncertain as the Texans await further testing and updates.
- Collins recently signed a three-year, $75 million extension through 2027 and may see a contract restructure or raise in the near future to address salary cap considerations.
- The Texans have firmly stated Collins is not available for trade despite rumors, confirming his role as a key offensive player and low-end WR1 fantasy option when healthy.
