Showing no rust ahead of 2026 Collins has been in top form at practice ahead of the 2026 campaign, John Harris of the Texans' official website reports.

Impact Collins took a bit of a step back in 2025, catching 71 of a career-high 120 targets for 1,117 yards and six scores over 15 regular-season contests. On the surface, it certainly appears to have been another impressive campaign, which it was, but his 4.7 receptions per game, 74.5 yards per contest and six scores were the wide receiver's lowest figures since 2022. Quarterback C.J. Stroud had a down year in 2025, and if he can get back on track this season, Collins will reap the benefits most substantially. The wideout made a series of impressive plays at practice Tuesday, connecting with Stroud for a handful of impressive plays. Collins is considered to be a fantasy WR1 option in 2026, and he appears to be on track to hit the ground running Week 1 against Buffalo.

Injury-free entering camp Collins said his limitations during the offseason were not injury-related and that he was simply being managed to stay rested for training camp, Kevin Patra of NFL.com reports.

Impact Collins' profile carries durability concerns, as he's yet to play a full 17-game slate in his NFL career, but the clarification that his limitations during spring and summer aren't indicative of any lingering injuries is encouraging. The 27-year-old has surpassed 1,000 receiving yards in each of the past three seasons and is positioned as the clear No. 1 option for C.J. Stroud in the passing game. Houston will spend camp sorting out the depth behind Collins. Jayden Higgins is positioned as the team's No. 2 receiver, while Jaylin Noel and Xavier Hutchinson are also in the mix along with Tank Dell (knee), who is has looked good while working his way back from the knee injury that cost him the entire 2025 campaign.

MAY 26 • SI.COM

Gets raise via restructure Collins agreed to terms Tuesday on a contract restructure with the Texans, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact Collins' restructure guarantees his salary for the next two seasons while providing him cash increases of $9 million in 2026 and $8 million in 2027, per Schefter. Houston general manager Nick Caserio made it clear in an interview during Day 2 of the 2026 NFL Draft that the team is not considering trading Collins despite having received calls about the 27-year-old wideout's availability, as DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN reports, and the Pro Bowler's new contract reinforces his long-term status as the No. 1 target for C.J. Stroud. While suiting up for 15 regular-season games in 2025, Collins secured 71 of 120 targets for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns -- his third consecutive season with over 1,000 receiving yards.

Teams have checked on availability NFL reporter Jordan Schultz reports teams around the league have called the Texans to check on the availability of Collins.

Impact Schultz adds that it "seems unlikely" Houston would trade its star wide receiver, but teams are calling with an understanding that Collins likely needs a new contract, as he's set to enter the final guaranteed year of his contract in 2026. Collins' $20 million salary is far behind the current wideout market after Jaxon Smith-Njigba reset the top of the market with an annual average of $42.15 million earlier this offseason. Collins is theoretically still in the prime of his career after he just turned 27 years old last month, and he's coming off a 2025 campaign that saw him catch 71 of 120 targets for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns across 15 regular-season contests.
