The Houston Texans have been without Nico Collins for the past two games, as he's been dealing with a hamstring injury. With a Week 4 matchup against the Dallas Cowboys on the horizon, it sounds like his return is finally coming to fruition.
In the Texans' latest injury report, the 27-year-old wide receiver was listed as a full participant in Friday's practice. He was also not given a game status, signifying that he will be a full go for Houston on Sunday.

CJ Stroud and the Texans will be happy to see Nico Collins back on the field from injury. He looked the part in the team's 36-31 Week 1 loss to the Buffalo Bills, as he finished that contest with seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown off 10 targets. He should be heavily targeted once again in Week 4 against the Cowboys with the goal of providing the offense a much-needed boost.
The two-time Pro Bowler emerged as a star-caliber wideout in the 2023-24 season when he surpassed the 1,000-yard mark for the first time in his career. He entered this year with aspirations to reach that same feat for the fourth straight campaign.
We'll see how the sixth-year veteran bounces back from the injury in Week 4. Collins and his teammates are going up against a Cowboys team that has yet to hit its stride.
