Nico Collins carries defender into endzone for Texans touchdown Texans WR powered his way through the Chicago defense for a first half score
Cleared for Sunday's game Collins (illness) practiced fully Friday and does not carry a Week 2 injury designation.
Impact An illness limited Collins on Thursday, but the wideout's full participation a day later sets the stage for him to be available Sunday night against the Bears. In the Texans' 29-27 win over the Colts in Week 1, Collins caught six of his eight targets for 117 yards while recording an 80 percent snap share alongside fellow WRs Stefon Diggs (77 percent) and Tank Dell (63 percent).

Limited Thursday by illness Collins (illness) was limited at practice Thursday.
Impact Collins practiced fully Wednesday, but was added to the Texans' Week 2 injury report due to an illness that limited him one day later.

Tops 100 yards in opener Collins caught six of eight targets for 117 yards in Sunday's 29-27 win over the Colts.
Impact The fourth-year wideout immediately re-established his chemistry with C.J. Stroud, topping 100 yards for the first time in 2024 after doing so five times last season en route to a 1,297-yard breakout. While Collins led the Texans in receiving yards and targets, newcomer Stefon Diggs caught two red-zone TDs from Stroud and tied Collins for the team lead with six catches, giving secondaries another serious threat to worry about. Collins will look to keep rolling in a Week 2 matchup against the Bears.

Not expected to suit up Saturday Collins is among a number of Texans wideouts not dressed out for Saturday's preseason contest versus the Rams, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Impact Also expected to be held out of the contest are Stefon Diggs, Tank Dell and Robert Woods. Those four are at the head of the wide-receiver depth chart for the Texans, so the team appears to be have made the decision to keep its top players out of the exhibition finale. John Metchie III, Ben Skowronek, Xavier Hutchinson and Steven Sims, among others, will get a chance to shine as Houston's pass catchers Saturday.

One long gain Saturday Collins caught one of two targets for 24 yards in Saturday's 28-10 preseason win over the Giants.
Impact The first-team offense was only on the field for two possessions and came away with zero points, but Collins and C.J. Stroud still got a chance to show off their chemistry, as the wideout's big gain on the first drive put the Texans in the red zone. Collins is coming off a breakout 2023 campaign, and even with Stefon Diggs now in the mix for targets along with holdovers Tank Dell, Dalton Schultz and others, the 25-year-old could still be Stroud's top downfield option.

Plays two drives Friday Collins wasn't targeted in Friday's 20-12 preseason win over the Steelers.
Impact Collins played the first two drives along with the rest of Houston's starters, but neither he nor new teammate Stefon Diggs saw a target while Tank Dell scored a 34-yard touchdown. Even with numerous mouths to feed in the passing game, Collins figures to play a prominent role in 2024 after breaking out with 1,297 receiving yards during the 2023 regular season. Collins and the Texans will host the Giants next Saturday in the third of Houston's four preseason games.
