Trent Brown returned to the Houston Texans’ practice field Thursday, giving the team a potential return of its regular-season right-tackle starter for Sunday’s Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Brown had missed the previous session while listed with wrist and knee injuries.
Brown has opened both of Houston’s regular-season games and was chosen for the starting job after Braden Smith suffered a preseason foot injury. Smith is on injured reserve through the season’s first four weeks. In his two games, Brown has recorded eight pressures, four penalties and one sack.
Nico Collins remained out, marking his second missed practice this week and his fourth straight absence since his injury. The available report did not include more information about the wide receiver’s condition. Blake Fisher and Nate Thomas are listed as the other tackles behind Brown. Fisher entered the league as a 2024 second-round selection, while Houston acquired Thomas in a trade during roster cutdowns.
