Texans' WR Nico Collins Returns to Practice, Status Uncertain for Lions Game

The Houston Texans have activated wide receiver Nico Collins from injured reserve, making him eligible to play against the Detroit Lions, though he is listed as questionable. Collins, who led the league in receiving yards before his injury, could provide a significant boost to the Texans' offense, especially with Stefon Diggs out. His return could alleviate pressure on fellow receiver Tank Dell and quarterback C.J. Stroud, who was heavily sacked in the previous game. The Texans are cautious with Collins' return, and his participation will depend on pregame evaluations.
