The Texans are expecting to see wide receiver Nico Collins practice this week in preparation for their Lone Star showdown against the Cowboys.

Texans coach DeMeco Ryans anticipates Nico Collins practicing again this week ahead of their Week 11 game against the Cowboys. The WR is expected to have a big impact in his eventual return.

Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that star receiver Nico Collins' inactive status for Sunday night’s loss to the Detroit Lions wasn’t because of any complications with his injury recovery.

Collins, who last played in Week 5’s win over the Buffalo Bills, caught a 67-yard touchdown pass from Stroud in the first quarter before leaving for the remainder of the evening. He entered Week 5 as the NFL leader in receiving yards with 567. Collins also ranked third in catches with 32 and led the Texans with three receiving touchdowns.

The Houston Texans were 4-1 when Nico Collins went down with a hamstring injury in week 5. Now they’re on the wrong end of a 3-game losing streak with the chance to embarrass themselves in front of the world on Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.

The Houston Texans could see their best wide receiver return to action in Week 11, and for the sake of their season, this must be the case.

Losers of three of their last four games, the Texans need to get back on track in Week 11 against the floundering Dallas Cowboys. This is the perfect time for the return of wide receiver Nico Collins,
