Nico Collins misses practice again on Thursday

It’s looking like the Texans are going to be without wide receiver Nico Collins again this weekend.

Reporters at the open portion of the team’s practice on Thursday shared that Collins was not among the player participating in the workout. Collins missed Week 2 with a hamstring injury and he was also absent from practice on Wednesday. That makes five straight missed practices for the wideout.

Given the nature of hamstring injuries, a return to face the Colts this Sunday feels like a long shot but the Texans will not release any official injury designations until Friday afternoon.

Kayshon Boutte, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jared Wayne are the other receivers on the 53-man roster in Houston.
