Who Else Is Out for Houston
Collins is one of seven Texans inactives. The list also includes defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, tight end Brevin Jordan, linebacker Jake Hummel, cornerback Collin Wright, guard Ed Ingram and offensive tackle Nate Thomas.
Cincinnati has Joe Burrow available. He dealt with back tightness during the practice week but carried no injury designation into Sunday and is not on the inactive list.
What It Means
Losing Collins takes Houston’s top target out of the passing game, and with Jordan also down the Texans are thin at the two positions that matter most for moving the ball through the air. For fantasy managers this is a late scratch, so check your lineup before kickoff.
