Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans clarified that Nico Collins' absence in the recent game against the Detroit Lions was a game-time decision and not due to any injury setbacks. Collins, who leads the Texans in receiving yards, practiced for the first time in over a month after recovering from a hamstring injury.

Ryans expressed optimism about Collins' return for the upcoming game against the Dallas Cowboys, emphasizing his crucial role in enhancing the team's struggling offense.
