Nico Collins Avoids Major Hamstring Injury as Texans Face Week 2 With 4 Healthy Receivers

Summary
Wednesday's practice left Nico Collins limited with a hamstring injury, and Houston's top receiver is now in jeopardy for Sunday's Week 2 game against Cincinnati.
Thursday reports said Collins avoided a major injury, but his practice work over the next few days will determine whether he can play.
Four healthy receivers remain on the Texans' active roster if Collins sits, with Jayden Higgins out for the season after an ACL tear and Tank Dell still on injured reserve with a knee injury.
Collins opened the season with 7 catches for 75 yards and a touchdown, so any absence would further strain a receiving group already leaning on depth and possible practice-squad call-ups.
