Texans coach DeMeco Ryans anticipates Nico Collins practicing again this week ahead of their Week 11 game against the Cowboys. The WR is expected to have a big impact in his eventual return.

Houston Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Tuesday that star receiver Nico Collins' inactive status for Sunday night’s loss to the Detroit Lions wasn’t because of any complications with his injury recovery.

“Getting Nico back is always very great for all of us,” Texans coach DeMeco Ryans said Thursday. “Nico’s been one of our best players when he was healthy, so it’s great to have him back, great to have his presence and the energy that he brings and also the playmaking ability that he brings.”
