The Houston Texans have placed wide receiver Nico Collins on injured reserve due to a hamstring injury sustained during their Week 5 victory over the Buffalo Bills. Collins, who was leading the NFL with 567 receiving yards, will be sidelined for at least the next four games. Coach DeMeco Ryans initially described the injury as 'week-to-week' before the decision to place him on IR was made.
- Nico Collins' injury is a significant blow to the Texans' passing game.
- The Texans will need to adjust their offensive strategy in Collins' absence.
