  • Leads in yards

    Collins caught two of five targets for 28 yards in Sunday's 31-5 loss to Arizona.

    Analysis: Houston quarterback Davis Mills averaged just 4.2 yards-per-attempt, so it was not a banner day for the receiving crew. Collins' 28 yards led all wideouts, which indicates the current state of Houston's offense; the Texans have been outscored 62-8 the last two weeks. During that time, Collins has emerged as the No. 2 wideout. He's been targeted 11 times while playing 60 percent of the snaps the last two weeks, second only to Brandin Cooks among Houston's wide receivers. Unfortunately, the…read more

  • Suiting up Sunday

    Collins (foot) is listed as active for Sunday's game against the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Collins, who was a limited practice participant both Thursday and Friday, will give it a go Sunday and look to build off the four catches (on six targets) and 44 yards he logged in a Week 6 loss to the Colts. Also in the Texans' WR mix Sunday will be top option Brandin Cooks, slot man Danny Amendola, Chris Conley and Chris Moore. With Davis Mills drawing another start at QB for Houston versus 6-0 Arizona, however, Collins profiles as a hit-or-miss fantasy lineup option in Week 7.

  • Questionable with foot injury

    Collins (foot) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Arizona, Darren Urban of the Cardinals' official site reports.

    Analysis: Collins was a limited participant both Thursday and Friday as a result of the foot injury. With the Texans being heavy underdogs against the undefeated Cardinals, the rookie third-round pick could be in line for ample target volume if he suits up. Should Collins sit, Chris Conley (neck) would likely play the majority of snaps on the outside opposite Brandin Cooks, though Conley is listed as questionable himself.

  • Limited by foot injury

    Collins was a limited participant in Thursday's practice due to a foot injury.

    Analysis: Collins was sidelined for Weeks 3 through 5 with a shoulder injury, but he returned to action in last week's loss to the Colts and recorded four receptions for 44 yards on six targets. Since Collins wasn't listed on Wednesday's practice report, the shoulder doesn't seem to be bothering him any longer, but his addition to Thursday's report with the foot issue could be indicative of an in-practice injury. Ultimately, Collins' activity at Friday's practice will determine whether he takes a…read more

  • Active in return

    Collins caught four of six targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 31-3 loss to Indianapolis.

    Analysis: The rookie third-round pick out of Michigan was active in his return from a three-week stay on injured reserve due to a shoulder injury. While the Texans suffered another bad defeat, Collins at least provided a spark. He played 43 snaps for a season-high 57-percent share and showed some chemistry with rookie quarterback Davis Mills. Brandin Cooks is the clear No. 1 wideout for Houston, but Collins should get plenty of opportunities on a team that figures to play from behind a lot.

  • Set to make return

    Collins (shoulder) was activated off injured reserve Saturday, Aaron Wilson of Sportstalk 790 Houston reports.

    Analysis: It's a bit surprising to see Collins activated so soon given he was just designated to practice earlier this week. As a result, Saturday's roster move has to be a positive sign regarding his health moving forward. The 2021 third-round pick was a popular sleeper entering the year given the lack of notable starting receivers opposite Brandin Cooks. That hasn't changed in Collins' absence, though the switch to Davis Mills might complicate things somewhat given the two theoretically haven't had…read more

  • Officially designated for return

    The Texans designated Collins (shoulder) to return from injured reserve Wednesday.

    Analysis: The transaction opens a 21-day window for Collins to resume participating in practice, with the wideout eligible to rejoin the 53-man roster at any point during that time. The shoulder injury kept the rookie third-round pick sidelined for the past three games, but once active, he should push Chris Conley for work at the perimeter receiver spot opposite No. 1 wideout Brandin Cooks.

  • On track to practice

    Collins (shoulder) is expected to return to practice this week, Sarah Barshop of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Per Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site, Collins, who remains on injured reserve is on track to practice in a limited fashion this week. Before he's able to rejoin the Texans for practice in any capacity, the team will have to designate him to return from IR. Unless the wideout upgrades to full activity by the end of the week, he's unlikely to be formally added to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game against the Colts.

  • Not returning Week 6

    Houston head coach David Culley said Wednesday that Collins (shoulder) is not expected to return from injured reserve when first eligible Week 6, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Culley was unable to offer a timetable for Collins' return, but it's a safe bet the rookie wideout will have a sizable role when he's available again. Collins played 55.1 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1, then recorded a 32-yard catch-and-run on the first drive of Week 2 before sustaining the shoulder injury.

  • Heads to IR

    Collins (shoulder) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday.

    Analysis: The roster move ensures that Collins won't be available to play for the Texans until at least their Week 6 matchup with the Colts on Oct. 17. Though the details regarding Collins' shoulder injury remain vague, prior reports suggested that he faced a 3-4 week recovery timeline. Houston added tight end Antony Auclair from the practice squad to take Collins' spot on the 53-man roster.

  • Ruled out for Week 3

    Texans head coach David Culley confirmed Tuesday that Collins (shoulder) won't play Thursday against the Panthers, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Houston hasn't offered up many details on the shoulder injury Collins suffered in a Week 2 loss to the Browns, but Culley said Monday that the rookie's medical concern is "pretty significant," per Kubena. Meanwhile, Adam Schefter of ESPN reported that Collins is likely facing a 3-4 week recovery timeline from the injury, making the 22-year-old a candidate for injured reserve. Culley indicated that Jordan Veasy and/or Chris Moore could be elevated from the practice squad ahead of Thursday's game…read more

  • Will miss 3-to-4 weeks

    Collins (shoulder) is expected to miss 3-to-4 weeks due to the injury he suffered in Sunday's loss to the Browns, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Analysis: Collins has compiled two catches through two games, so the rookie third-round pick's absence is unlikely to have much of an effect on Houston's offense. Anthony Miller should see an uptick in playing time while Collins recovers, though Brandin Cooks remains the only member of the Texans' receiving corps that's expected to make a significant impact on a weekly basis.

  • Injury considered significant

    Coach David Culley said Monday that Collins (shoulder) is dealing with a "pretty significant" injury, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Culley didn't rule the receiver out for Thursday night's matchup against the Panthers, however. The 22-year-old has totaled two receptions for 39 yards across the first two weeks of the season, but Andre Roberts could see increased work in Week 3 if Collins is unavailable.

  • Injures shoulder

    Collins left Sunday's game against the Browns with a shoulder injury, Aaron Reiss of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Prior to his exit from the contest, Collins caught his only target for 32 yards. In his absence, Brandin Cooks, Chris Conley and Danny Amendola are in line to head the Texans' Week 2 WR corps.

  • Plays second-most snaps at WR

    Collins caught one of three targets for seven yards in Sunday's 37-21 win over the Jaguars.

    Analysis: Collins, a 2021 third-round draft pick, was second among wide receivers with 43 snaps (55 percent), trailing only No. 1 wideout Brandin Cooks. When Houston made Anthony Miller (coach's decision) inactive, it was unclear how the playing time would be distributed, but Collins and Chris Conley (40 snaps) were given the most run after Cooks. Danny Amendola, recently added to the roster, was fourth among the wideouts at 17 snaps but equaled the targets of the Cooks/Conley duo.

  • Finds end zone despite inefficiency

    Collins recorded two receptions on six targets for 16 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's preseason game against Tampa Bay.

    Analysis: Collins entered the game with the first-team offense, but he played into the third quarter and was targeted by both Tyrod Taylor and Davis Mills. He wasn't particularly efficient with either signal caller, though he did manage an 11-yard touchdown connection with Mills midway through the third quarter. Collins isn't likely to play a huge role in Week 1 against Jacksonville, though he could overtake players such as Chris Conley or Keke Coutee for a role as the season wears on.

  • Returns to practice Monday

    Collins (undisclosed) returned for Monday's brief walkthrough practice, NFL reporter Aaron Wilson reports.

    Analysis: The Texans held Collins out of this past Saturday's preseason game at Dallas as a precautionary measure as he tended to a "muscle pull," per Drew Dougherty of the team's official site. Coach David Culley said during postgame media availability that Collins could have played, and the fact the rookie third-round pick was back on the field Monday indicates the lack of severity of the injury. Collins will look to make his presence felt again in Saturday's exhibition finale against the Buccaneers.

  • Dealing with pulled muscle

    Collins did not play in Saturday's preseason contest against Dallas due to a pulled muscle, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

    Analysis: Coach David Culley didn't offer much detail regarding the injury and didn't specify which muscle Collins was having an issue with. It was noted that Collins could have played Saturday, but the team took a cautious approach. That said, the injury doesn't appear to have the potential to impact his availability for the start of the regular season.

  • Sitting out Saturday

    Collins will not play in Saturday's preseason game against Dallas, the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: It's not clear whether the rookie third-round pick is dealing with an injury, but nothing reported to this point gives reason to suspect it. With Brandin Cooks locked in as the WR1, Collins is competing with Chris Conley for the second outside wide receiver role while Keke Coutee and Anthony Miller likely fight for the slot receiver tasks in three-wide formations.

  • One big grab Saturday

    Collins caught his only target for 24 yards in Saturday's preseason win over the Packers.

    Analysis: The rookie has made a good impression in training camp, but Collins still was treated like a depth option in the preseason opener, making his only grab of the night in the second quarter after the Texans' starters were already long gone. Anthony Miller dislocated his elbow in the game however, sidelining one of his competitors for snaps, and if Collins keeps stacking up good days in practice, the 2021 third-round pick's climb up the depth chart should continue.

  • At end of depth chart

    Collins is listed as the sixth wideout on the Texans' unofficial depth chart, Brooks Kubena of the Houston Chronicle reports.

    Analysis: Perhaps Collins, the Texans' third-round draft pick in 2021, is getting the rookie treatment heading into the first preseason game. He's popped early in camp and seemingly was in the mix to start opposite Brandin Cooks, but that privilege goes to veteran Chris Conley. It's early and changes will occur between now and the regular season, so interested observers should not read too much into Collins' placement on the depth chart.

  • Shining through first week of camp

    Collins has been the best rookie at Texans training camp, according to Aaron Reiss of The Athletic.

    Analysis: Reiss adds that the rookie third-round pick has a shot to finish top three on the Texans in targets this season. It's a realistic assessment, given the lack of veteran receiving talent in Houston behind top option Brandin Cooks. With Will Fuller, Kenny Stills and now Randall Cobb all leaving, the Texans have Collins, Chris Conley, Keke Coutee and Anthony Miller battling for top-three roles at wide receiver. The rookie is far from a lock to win one of those jobs, but he's at least right in the…read more
