Nico Collins Injury Update: Houston Texans Star WR on Injured Reserve
Nico Collins Injury Details
The Houston Texans announced that Nico Collins, currently leading the NFL in receiving yards, has been placed on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury. Collins was injured during a 23-20 victory against Buffalo after making a remarkable 67-yard touchdown catch. He will be sidelined for at least four games before being eligible to return to the active roster.
Impact on Texans' Offense
Replacing Collins will challenge the Texans, who have relied heavily on him with 567 receiving yards on only 32 receptions this season. Fortunately, wide receiver Stefon Diggs, who has tallied 315 yards and two touchdowns, remains a capable option. The Texans also feature Tank Dell, who has established chemistry with quarterback C.J. Stroud, and tight end Dalton Schultz, contributing significantly as well.
The Texans' first matchup without Collins will occur against the New England Patriots this Sunday. The team hopes to navigate this absence effectively as they look to maintain their competitive edge in the NFL.
