Collins didn’t practice Wednesday and the team is still determining whether he will be designated for return from injured reserve for a Sunday night game against the Detroit Lions.This designation would launch Collins’ 21-day activation window for him to be restored to the active roster. Once Collins starts practicing, he’ll have the opportunity to be active and return to play.
Without Collins, the passing game has suffered. That included a career-low 86 yards, 55 net yards, 10 of 21 passing and no touchdowns for Pro Bowl quarterback C.J. Stroud during a 24-22 road loss to the Packers at Lambeau Field. Stroud completed just 10 of 31 passes, a career-low percentage, in a loss to the New York Jets last Thursday night.
Without Collins, a 6-foot-4, 222-pound speedster who has run the 40-yard dash in 4.44 seconds, the Texans have struggled to replace his production. Collins caught 32 passes before his injury and was on pace to pile up 109 catches for 1,928 yards and 10 touchdowns prior to injuring his right hamstring while catching a 67-yard touchdown pass in a win over the Bills as his leg seized up during a long touchdown catch.
