It appears the Texans will be without wide receiver Nico Collins against the Patriots on Sunday.
Reporters present during the open portion of Thursday’s practice noted that Collins was not on the field with the rest of the team. Collins suffered a concussion in the win over the Steelers and also did not take part in Wednesday’s practice.

Given the need to go through several stages of increased work in order to pass concussion protocol, it seems unlikely Collins will have enough time to be cleared for this weekend.
Christian Kirk threw a big game against the Steelers and he is joined by Jayden Higgins, Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson and Braxton Berrios.
