The Houston Texans have welcomed back wide receiver Nico Collins from injured reserve, aiming to enhance their struggling offense ahead of a key matchup against the Detroit Lions. Collins, who previously led the league with 567 receiving yards, is expected to make an impact despite limited practice time this week.

His absence has been felt, as the Texans have struggled to reach 300 passing yards in the last four games. The team is optimistic that Collins' return will alleviate some pressure off quarterback C.J. Stroud, who faced significant challenges in the previous game against the New York Jets.
