The Houston Texans have updated wide receiver Nico Collins’ status from “day-to-day” to “week-to-week.” Collins left the Texans’ game against Buffalo early after suffering a hamstring injury.
The change indicates that Collins may be out longer with the injury than originally expected. The Texans travel to play the New England Patriots on Sunday; it is unclear if Collins will play in that game.
Collins entered the medical tent in the first half of Sunday’s game before heading to the locker room for further evaluation. The Texans initially said he was questionable before ruling him out at halftime with a hamstring injury.
Prior to the injury, Collins scored a 67-yard touchdown late in the first quarter on a deep pass from C.J. Stroud. The Texans ultimately won 23–20, with Houston’s Ka’imi Fairbairn hitting a 59-yard field goal as time expired.
Collins has had a great season so far, with 32 receptions for three touchdowns and an NFL-best 567 yards. The 25-year-old receiver signed a three-year, $72 million extension with Houston in May as the Texans continued to build their offense around Stroud.
With the win over the Bills, Houston is now 4-1 and in first place in the AFC South.
