Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that star receiver Nico Collins' inactive status for Sunday night’s loss to the Detroit Lions wasn’t because of any complications with his injury recovery.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans anticipates Nico Collins practicing again this week ahead of their Week 11 game against the Cowboys. The WR is expected to have a big impact in his eventual return.

The Houston Texans are waiting on the return of WR Nico Collins, and head coach DeMeco Ryans gave a murky injury update.

The Texans are expecting to see wide receiver Nico Collins practice this week in preparation for their Lone Star showdown against the Cowboys.

HOUSTON – Nico Collins represents the prototype of an NFL wide receiver. Tall and fast at 6-foot-4, 222 pounds with 4.4 speed in the 40-yard dash, Collins provides a game-changing element to the Texans’ offense.

The Houston Texans were 4-1 when Nico Collins went down with a hamstring injury in week 5. Now they’re on the wrong end of a 3-game losing streak with the chance to embarrass themselves in front of the world on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Houston Texans could see their best wide receiver return to action in Week 11, and for the sake of their season, this must be the case.
