Nico Collins (hamstring) was not spotted at Friday’s practice.

18 September 2026

Collins has missed each of the Texans’ last two practices and is at risk of being sidelined for Week 2’s game against the Bengals. The team will release its final injury report later in the day, but the timing of his injury, coupled with back-to-back DNPs, doesn’t bode well for Collins this weekend. If he were to miss Sunday’s game, Xavier Hutchinson and Kayshon Boutte would be on the radar as potential dart throws in deeper leagues.
