Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins faced an unfortunate turn of events during Sunday’s Week 14 game against the New York Jets. In what has been an impressive season for the third-year receiver, Collins was compelled to exit the first quarter due to a calf injury. This development further depleted a Texans receiving corps already grappling with manpower shortage.

Collins had strode into the game off the back of an outstanding performance, earning him a spot among the few Texans players to have clocked 1,000 receiving yards in a single season. But injury halted his progress on the first drive, and he was subsequently ruled out for the rest of the game.

His calf injury has raised considerable concerns as he remains questionable for return. Prior to his exit, Collins had already made significant contributions to the game. The implications of his potential absence extend beyond the reorganization of the team’s roster, notably impacting fans engaged in fantasy football.

The Texans organization and fans alike now keenly await updates on Collins’ injury. His previous form is such that his absence would be a significant setback for the Texans. As of now, Collins’ return to the field remains uncertain, and Houston possibly faces a challenge adapting to the shortfall.
