Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he is hopeful wide receiver Nico Collins will return for the team’s Week 4 game against the Cowboys.
Collins is recovering from a Grade 1 hamstring strain that has sidelined him for Houston’s past two games. He also has not practiced during the last two weeks.
To have a realistic chance to play Sunday, Collins would likely need to participate in practice, even on a limited basis, at some point from Wednesday through Friday. The source did not provide a specific timetable for his return.
Houston enters the matchup with an 0-3 record. The Texans have struggled offensively during Collins’ absence, and his possible return would bring back the team’s top receiver.
