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.

Collins, who last played in Week 5’s win over the Buffalo Bills, caught a 67-yard touchdown pass from Stroud in the first quarter before leaving for the remainder of the evening. He entered Week 5 as the NFL leader in receiving yards with 567. Collins also ranked third in catches with 32 and led the Texans with three receiving touchdowns.

When WR Nico Collins and the Houston Texans clash with the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11 on Monday at 8:15 PM ET, they will be going up against the Cowboys' 17th-ranked pass defense, which is allowing 210.8 receiving yards per game.

The Texans activated wide receiver Nico Collins from injured reserve last Saturday, but he wound up being on the inactive list for their loss to the Lions on Sunday night.

C.J. Stroud will have to wait at least one more week before he gets his WR1 back, as Nico Collins was included among the Houston Texans' inactives ahead of their Week 10 matchup against the Detroit Lions.

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 wide receiver Nico Collins is inactive tonight.

CJ Stroud is set to regain his favourite target, Nico Collins, ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.
