Nico Collins’ availability for Houston’s Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys remains unresolved as he recovers from a Grade 1 hamstring strain.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he hopes the wide receiver can play. Collins has missed Houston’s last two games and has been absent from practice for the past two weeks. Houston is 0-3 to open the season, while its offense has produced less effectively in the two games Collins has missed.
Collins’ path to playing Sunday would likely require him to resume practicing between Wednesday and Friday, even if he takes part only on a limited basis. Whether he returns to the field during that span is not known, so his game status remains unclear despite Ryans’ optimism. Collins has been sidelined for two consecutive games because of the hamstring injury.
