Impact Collins missed the Texans' first Week 8 practice Wednesday in preparation for Sunday's tilt with the Titans. While Collins may miss some time with his groin injury, the Texans aren't yet ruling him out for Week 8. If Collins can't go this weekend, Phillip Dorsett will likely step in as Houston's No. 2 wideout.

Sitting out first Week 8 practice Collins (groin) isn't participating in Wednesday's practice, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact According to Wilson, the Texans are viewing Collins as day-to-day ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans after he exited the team's Week 7 loss to the Raiders with the groin injury. If Collins is unable to overcome the groin issue in time for Sunday, Phillip Dorsett would likely pick up more reps alongside Brandin Cooks and Chris Moore in three-receiver sets.

Full practice Thursday Collins (Achilles/wrist) practiced fully Thursday, ProFootballNetwork.com's Aaron Wilson reports.
Impact A full practice for Collins all but settles that he's in line to start and be ready for his usual workload against the Raiders on Sunday. Hopefully the Texans' Week 6 bye allowed Collins to reach 100 percent health, because he quietly produced at an encouraging level before then (13 catches for 246 yards on 24 targets in he prior four games), though Collins will still be looking for his first touchdown of the season as the Texans head to Las Vegas.

Pops up with minor injuries Collins was a limited practice participant Wednesday due to Achilles and wrist injuries, Aaron Wilson of ProFootballNetwork.com reports.
Impact Collins is making his first appearance on the injury report of the season, following a Week 5 outing where he turned in a 4-65-0 receiving line on six targets in a 13-6 win over Jacksonville before Houston went on bye Week 6. Assuming neither the Achilles nor wrist injury is a major hinderance coming out of the bye week, Collins will handle his usual role as Houston's No. 2 receiver this Sunday against the Raiders.

Leads team with 65 yards Collins had four receptions (six targets) for 65 yards in Sunday's 13-6 win over the Jaguars.
Impact Collins led the Texans in receiving for the second week in a row, seeing his role increase at the expense of veteran co-starter Brandin Cooks (four receptions for 20 yards). The 2021 third-round pick has flashed some big-play ability to go along with his 6-foot-4 frame. That said, Collins is entering a bye week and will still have a struggling Davis Mills under center when the Texans take on the Raiders in Week 7.

Leads team in receiving Collins caught three of five targets for 82 yards in Sunday's 34-24 loss to the Chargers.
Impact Collins led the Texans in receiving yards, with a long gain of 58 fueling his performance and helping him post his highest yardage of the campaign. Through four games, however, Collins is yet to find the end zone, leaving something to be desired ahead of Week 5's matchup versus the Jaguars.

Outperforms Cooks again Collins caught two of four targets for 41 yards in Sunday's 23-20 loss to Chicago in Week 3.
Impact The second-year wideout was the second-leading receiver in terms of yards behind Chris Moore (63), and for the second straight week he produced more yardage than No. 1 WR Brandin Cooks (22). Collins had one of the four plays in the passing game that gained more than 20 yards, and he has eight catches on 16 targets for 125 yards (15.6 YPC) through three games.

Team-leading yardage total in loss Collins brought in four of nine targets for 58 yards in the Texans' 16-9 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Impact Collins paced the Texans in receiving yardage while sharing the team lead in receptions with Brandin Cooks. The numbers, including the target share, was a notable improvement from Week 1 for Collins, who'd posted a 2-26 line on just three targets in the tie with the Colts. Collins certainly has the talent and opportunity to grow along with Mills in the Texans offense, and he'll look to carry over his Week 2 momentum into a Week 3 road battle versus the Bears next Sunday.

Impact The second-year wideout hauled in an 18-yard scoring grab from the arm of Davis Mills with one second remaining in the first half to give Houston its only points over the first two quarters. Collins is projected to fill the No. 2 receiver role alongside top target Brandin Cooks, and Friday's showing was a particularly welcome sight after he hadn't logged so much as a single target in the exhibition opener versus the Saints.
