Texans' Nico Collins Suffers Concussion, Exits MNF Loss to Seahawks

DeMeco Ryans said his status will be evaluated this week following the fourth-quarter head injury.

Overview

  • Collins was ruled out after a sideline back-shoulder attempt against cornerback Josh Jobe led to his head striking the turf.
  • He left in the fourth quarter of Houston’s 27-19 defeat in Seattle, following an initial in-game evaluation in the blue tent.
  • Before exiting, the Pro Bowl receiver logged 4 catches for 27 yards on 10 targets during another uneven outing for the offense.
  • The team had already been without Christian Kirk due to a hamstring issue, elevating the importance of depth at wideout.
  • If Collins is unavailable next week against the 49ers, Houston could lean more on Xavier Hutchinson and rookies Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel.
