But they could be without wide receiver Nico Collins, who is in “jeopardy” of missing the game after injuring his hamstring in practice. According to a report from Adam Schefter, Collins hurt his hamstring during the team’s practice and met with doctors after the session. While doctors “don’t believe it’s serious,” according to Schefter’s report, he is in “jeopardy” of missing Sunday’s game against the Bengals: Texans WR Nico Collins injured his hamstring at Wednesday’s practice, met with doctors after and they “don’t believe it’s serious,” per source.
