Texans WR Nico Collins (hamstring) knocked out vs. Bills
Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins injured a hamstring while making a 67-yard touchdown reception Sunday and was ruled out for the rest of the game against the visiting Buffalo Bills.
Collins’ touchdown and injury came in the first quarter. C.J. Stroud hit Collins on a deep ball for a touchdown that put Houston ahead 14-3 at the time, but Stroud limped off the field and into the team’s blue medical tent.
He was sent to the locker room for evaluation. Originally ruled questionable to return, he was soon downgraded to out.
Collins, 25, led the NFL in receiving yards through four weeks with 489 on 30 catches. He had two receptions for 78 yards on Sunday before exiting.
The Texans also lost safety Jimmie Ward (groin) and running back British Brooks (knee) during the course of the game.
