Overview
- Coach DeMeco Ryans confirmed Collins sustained a concussion during Houston’s 27-19 defeat in Seattle and said the team will evaluate him as the week progresses.
- Collins was first listed as questionable, then went to the locker room for further evaluation and did not return after the fourth-quarter play.
- The injury occurred on a back-shoulder attempt with Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe in coverage, with Collins’ head striking the turf on the fall.
- Before exiting, Collins had four catches for 27 yards on 10 targets on a night when the Texans’ offense again struggled to finish drives.
- C.J. Stroud called Collins the offense’s top playmaker and acknowledged the short week, while Houston weighs options such as Xavier Hutchinson and rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel with Christian Kirk still dealing with a hamstring issue.
