Texans Star WR Nico Collins Gets Concerning Injury Update

The Houston Texans improved to 4-1 on Sunday with an epic win over the Buffalo Bills as Stefon Diggs shined against his former team.

However, they were dealt a blow as standout wide receiver Nico Collins suffered a hamstring injury on CJ Stroud's 67-yard touchdown to him. He limped into the end zone and ultimately exited early.

Diggs benefited from the increased workload, reeling in six catches for 82 yards. Collins meanwhile had two receptions for 78 yards before leaving.

On Monday, head coach DeMeco Ryans gave an update on Collins' status. While he was initially considered day-to-day, Ryans said his star wideout is now considered week-to-week, per Ian Rapoport.

“It takes a couple of weeks for a hamstring," Ryans said.

That puts Collins' availability for Week 6 against the New England Patriots in doubt. Hamstring injuries can take time to heal, so it's unknown when he will be back.

The former Michigan standout is balling out this season, collecting 32 receptions for an NFL-best 567 receiving yards. Collins also has three touchdowns.

Ryans did say Collins is in good spirits, however, which is good news. If he does miss Sunday's contest, expect Diggs to have a big role again.

There's also a good chance that running back Joe Mixon returns from an ankle injury.
