Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins could miss the team's Week 2 game against the Cincinnati Bengals after sustaining a hamstring injury at practice. The team does not believe the injury is serious, but his availability for Sunday remains uncertain, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.
If Collins does not play, Dalton Schultz could take on a larger role in Houston's passing game. Schultz is the Texans' top tight end and finished the 2025 season with 82 receptions for 777 yards.
Schultz also produced when Collins was unavailable last season. After Collins suffered a concussion against the Seattle Seahawks in Week 7, Schultz led Houston with 10 targets and made nine catches for 98.
Collins' status for the Bengals game was not yet clear in the report. The source did not provide additional details about whether he would participate before the game.
