Nico Collins will not play for the Houston Texans against the Detroit Lions, despite being activated from injured reserve. His absence is significant as he is the team's leading receiver, leaving the Texans looking to recover from a recent loss.
In addition to Collins, defensive end Will Anderson and running back Dameon Pierce are also inactive due to injuries. On the Lions' side, newly acquired pass rusher Za’Darius Smith and tackle Taylor Decker are also sidelined for the game.
