Sees 10 targets in return Collins recorded five receptions on 10 targets for 49 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 24-16 loss to the Giants.

Impact Collins returned from a two-game absence to lead the Texans in targets, receptions and yards. His longest catch of the day went for 13 yards, but the highlight of his performance was a 12-yard touchdown catch midway through the third quarter. Collins has topped 70 receiving yards only once this season, but he has a consistent role in the offense while managing at least three receptions in each of his last four games.

Puts end to two-game absence Collins (groin) is active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Collins is making his return from a two-game absence and isn't expected to face any major restrictions with his playing time after managing three limited practices this week. Though the second-year wideout has yet to find the end zone in 2022, he's played no fewer than two-thirds of the snaps in the five games he's been able to finish this season and has averaged three receptions for 54.4 yards on 5.4 targets in those contests.

Likely to play Sunday Collins (groin), who is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, is expected to play, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact Collins sat out the Texans' past two games due to the groin issue, but Wilson notes that the receiver had a good week of practice after participating on a limited basis Wednesday through Friday. His availability for Sunday's contest should be confirmed with the release of the Texans' inactive list 90 minutes prior to the 1 p.m. ET kickoff. In six appearances on the season, Collins has recorded 18 receptions for 305 yards and no touchdowns on 30 targets.

Taking questionable tag into Sunday Collins (groin) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants.

Impact Following a two-game absence, Collins looks to have a decent shot at returning to action this weekend in New York after he was a limited participant in practices Wednesday through Friday. Additionally, the Texans could get Brandin Cooks (wrist, questionable) back from a one-game absence, which would result in Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore moving back into lesser roles within Houston's receiving corps. Collins has yet to record a touchdown in his six appearances on the season, but he's shown some big-play ability with gains of over 20 yards on seven of his 18 receptions.

Maintains limited practice activity Collins (groin) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

Impact Collins has sat out the Texans' last two games, but his consecutive limited practices to kick off Week 10 prep seemingly have him trending in the right direction as Sunday's game against the Giants approaches. In order to avoid carrying a designation into that contest, however, Collins will likely need to graduate to full participation in Friday's practice.

Impact Collins is hoping to return for Sunday's road game against the Giants after missing the past two contests. Fellow wideout Phillip Dorsett (ankle) was also a limited participant Wednesday, while Brandin Cooks (wrist/personal) is back with the team but didn't practice.

May return to practice this week Coach Lovie Smith said Monday that he's hopeful Collins (groin) is able to practice ahead of Week 10, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

Impact Collins has missed back-to-back games due to a groin injury, but he appears to be progressing well and could return to practice ahead of Week 10. The rookie wideout will likely have to log at least one full participation to be cleared for game action, but his potential return to practice is still an encouraging sign, even if it's in a limited fashion.

Texans hit halfway mark with 1 win in another bad season

With just one win through eight games, the Houston Texans look to be headed for their worst season in years

NOVEMBER 4, 2022 • Associated Press

Ruled out for Thursday Collins (groin) has been ruled out for Thursday's game against the Eagles.

Impact Meanwhile, Brandin Cooks (wrist/not injury-related) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's practice estimate and is listed as questionable for the contest. If Cooks joins Collins on the inactive list Thursday, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore would be in line to lead the Texans' wideout corps versus Philadelphia. Collins will aim for a potential return to action Week 10 against the Giants.

Likely to miss Week 9 Collins (groin) didn't practice Tuesday and appears unlikely to play in Thursday's game against the Eagles, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Collins has yet to resume any practice activity since injuring his groin in the Texans' Week 7 loss to the Raiders and will face an uphill battle to make it back on the field for Houston's Week 9 contest. If Collins is in fact sidelined for a second straight game Thursday, the likes of Phillip Dorsett, Chris Moore and Tyron Johnson would likely take on more reps at receiver alongside No. 1 target Brandin Cooks (personal), who sat out Tuesday's practice but remains with the Texans after not being dealt ahead of the trade deadline.

Texans run defense struggles in loss to Henry, Titans

A week after vowing to improve their NFL-worst run defense, the Houston Texans had one of the worst performances against the run in franchise history in a loss to Tennessee

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • Associated Press

DNP on practice estimate Collins (groin) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.

Impact Collins was inactive Sunday against the Titans, with Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle relaying via coach Lovie Smith that "it's going to be hard" for the wideout to be ready for Thursday night's game against the Eagles. If Collins remains out, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore once again would see added WR snaps Week 9 alongside Brandin Cooks.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Out for divisional battle Collins (groin) was downgraded Saturday and will not play Sunday against the Titans.

Impact Collins didn't practice all week due to a groin injury, but there still was some hope the second-year starter would be able to suit up Sunday. With Collins sidelined, Phillip Dorsett and Chris Moore could see an increased role, and that's without the possible absence of Brandin Cooks, who is also questionable for Sunday's contest due to a wrist injury (and a flurry of trade rumors to boot).

OCTOBER 29, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Questionable after three DNPs Collins (groin) didn't practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.

Impact Collins was unable to practice at all throughout the week, so he'll likely need to progress substantially to play come Sunday. Given that context, it's no surprise that the Texans don't expect Collins to play, per Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston. If Collins is out or limited, Phillip Dorsett will likely take on a larger role against the pedestrian Titans secondary. Dorsett got into the end zone after Collins got hurt in the Week 7 loss to the Raiders.

OCTOBER 28, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out second straight practice Collins (groin) isn't participating in Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Impact Though Texans head coach Lovie Smith has already noted that the groin injury Collins suffered in the team's Week 7 loss to the Raiders isn't a season-ending concern, the wideout seems likely to miss at least one game, and a stint on injured reserve could still be in play. Collins has now missed two straight practices to begin Week 8 prep, and though he hasn't been ruled out from playing in Sunday's game against the Titans, he'll face an uphill battle to gain clearance for that contest. Phillip Dorsett would be the main beneficiary from added playing time if Collins ends up sitting out this weekend.

Impact Collins missed the Texans' first Week 8 practice Wednesday in preparation for Sunday's tilt with the Titans. While Collins may miss some time with his groin injury, the Texans aren't yet ruling him out for Week 8. If Collins can't go this weekend, Phillip Dorsett will likely step in as Houston's No. 2 wideout.

Sitting out first Week 8 practice Collins (groin) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.

Impact According to Wilson, the Texans are viewing Collins as day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans after he exited the team's Week 7 loss to the Raiders with the groin injury. If Collins is unable to overcome the groin issue in time for Sunday, Phillip Dorsett would likely pick up more reps alongside Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore in three-receiver sets.

Won't return Sunday Collins (groin) was ruled out of Sunday's game in Las Vegas.

Impact Collins thus will end Week 7 action with three catches (on three targets) for 33 yards. With fellow wide receiver Tyler Johnson a healthy scratch Sunday, the Texans are down to Brandin Cooks, Chris Moore and Phillip Dorsett at the position.
