Texans' Nico Collins: Coach 'hopeful' for Week 4 return
Head coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he's "hopeful" to have Collins available for the Texans' Week 4 game against the Cowboys, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins is working his way back from a Grade 1 hamstring strain, which has kept him from playing in either of the Texans' last two games. He hasn't practiced during the past two weeks either, so Collins would likely need to get back on the field as at least a limited participant at some point between Wednesday and Friday to have a realistic shot at suiting up against the Cowboys on Sunday. The Texans' playoff hopes have already taken a hit following an 0-3 start to the season, but the potential return of their No. 1 receiver could invigorate an offense that has struggled in his absence over the past two weeks.

Texans' Nico Collins: Making good progress
Collins (hamstring) is making good progress in his recovery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins was forced to miss Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury that he suffered Week 1. It was his second straight contest on the bench, but head coach DeMeco Ryans explained following Sunday's loss that the wide receiver has been "progressing really well," leaving the door open for a return in Week 4 for Collins.

Texans' Nico Collins: May return in Week 4
Collins (hamstring), who is missing a second game in a row Sunday at Indianapolis, has "a decent chance" to return to action in Week 4 against the Cowboys on Sunday, Oct. 4, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Collins hasn't logged any on-field reps since injuring his hamstring at practice on Wednesday, Sept. 16, but following Schefter's report Sunday morning, the wide receiver appears as if he'll give it a go at practice this week to see if a return is possible next weekend. In the meantime, Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne will be the primary wide receivers available to QB C.J. Stroud.

Texans' Nico Collins: Will not play Sunday
Collins (hamstring) will not play in Sunday's game at Indianapolis.
Collins hasn't practiced since injuring his hamstring at practice last week. He'll miss a second straight game, again leaving Houston with Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as the top wide receivers. Collins' next chance to play will be the following Sunday against the Cowboys.

Texans' Nico Collins: Not practicing Friday
Collins (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday and is slated to miss a second game in a row, Aaron Wilson reports.
With Collins now set for another absence after missing practice throughout the week, Houston is left with Kayshon Boutte, Xavier Hutchinson, Jaylin Noel and Jared Wayne as the top wide receivers. Last week, TE Dalton Schultz dominated the team's receiving production, and the offense may again run through TEs and/or RBs in the absence of a credible threat at wide receiver. Collins is said to have a Grade 1 hamstring strain, which is the least severe variety, but he hasn't returned to practice since initially suffering the injury at practice last Wednesday.

Texans' Nico Collins: Status 'very much in doubt'
Collins (hamstring) is "very much in doubt" for Sunday's game against the Colts, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Another missed practice for Collins on Thursday left his Week 3 availability very much up in the air, and Rapoport's comments indicate it's more likely than not Collins will miss a second straight game. Another official update on Collins will be come when the Texans release their final injury report of the week Friday afternoon.

Texans' Nico Collins: Officially DNP again Thursday
Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Collins seems to be headed toward a second consecutive absence Sunday against the Colts, as he hasn't practiced since sustaining a hamstring injury last Wednesday. Barring an improbable recovery from Collins, which would be precipitated by a return to practice Friday, Dalton Schultz is likely to function as the top pass catcher for C.J. Stroud on Sunday. Schultz caught 12 of 14 targets for 140 yards in Collins' absence against the Bengals this past Sunday, while Stroud connected on only nine of 26 passes intended for Houston's wide receivers.

Texans' Nico Collins: Not practicing Thursday
Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Collins has yet to resume practicing since injuring his hamstring in practice last Wednesday. The star wide receiver sat out Houston's Week 2 loss to the Bengals and is likely headed for another absence Sunday against the Colts. Collins will likely have to practice in some capacity Friday to avoid being ruled out ahead of Sunday's game.

Texans' Nico Collins: Officially held out Wednesday
Collins (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Wednesday's injury report.
Collins was not spotted by reporters prior to Wednesday's session, and he officially did not get any work in at Houston's first session of the week. It was reported Saturday that Collins could miss two games with his injury, and after sitting out Week 2, he could miss Week 3 unless he is able to get some work in either or both of the next two days.

Texans' Nico Collins: Not seen at practice
Collins (hamstring) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Wednesday's practice, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports.
Since injuring his hamstring at practice last Wednesday, Collins hasn't logged any notable on-field work, which lines up with a report from Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston that the wide receiver may miss two games as a result. Collins likely will need to mix into drills at some point by week's end in order to have a chance to suit up Sunday at Indianapolis.
