The Houston Texans could be without C.J. Stroud's top target when they attempt to earn their first victory of the season.

Nico Collins did not participate in Thursday's practice because of a hamstring injury, putting his availability for Sunday's matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals in serious question.

Collins was limited Wednesday after suffering the injury during practice before being downgraded to a non-participant Thursday.
