Overview
- Collins remains in concussion protocol after a Week 7 head injury and missed early-week practices, making a quick clearance unlikely.
- Aaron Wilson reports Collins is not expected to play Sunday, with Christian Kirk also projected to sit due to a hamstring issue.
- Houston elevated Jared Wayne from the practice squad to bolster depth at wide receiver for the 49ers game.
- Targets are set to shift toward rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins, with Xavier Hutchinson and Braxton Berrios also in line for more work.
- Tight end Dalton Schultz is positioned as C.J. Stroud’s most reliable option as the Texans seek answers for an offense that has struggled to produce points and yards.
