Texans Activate WR Nico Collins from Injured Reserve Ahead of Lions Clash

Nico Collins, the NFL's leading receiver before his injury, is set to potentially return for the Texans after missing four games.

Nico Collins was activated off injured reserve by the Houston Texans after recovering from a hamstring injury sustained in Week 5.
Collins, who led the NFL in receiving yards at the time of his injury, missed four games but remains the league leader in average receiving yards per game.
His return is expected to boost a Texans offense that struggled without him, achieving a 2-2 record in his absence.
The Texans' quarterback, C.J. Stroud, saw a significant drop in performance without Collins, highlighting the receiver's impact on the team.
Collins' activation comes as the Texans prepare to face the Detroit Lions, who have one of the league's weaker pass defenses, in a prime-time matchup.
