The Houston Texans had a dramatic 23–20 victory over the Buffalo Bills on Sunday in which they connected on a 59-yard field goal as time was expiring on the win. However, the Texans also suffered a massive loss. Nico Collins, the NFL’s leading receiver, suffered a hamstring injury that put him on injured reserve on Wednesday. Collins will now miss at least the next four games.
In the win over Buffalo, Collins made his impact felt late in the first quarter when he was on the receiving end of C.J. Stroud’s 67-yard touchdown pass. It was the second-longest touchdown catch of Collins’s four-year career and put Houston ahead 14–3. However, he left the end zone with a noticeable limp, signaling something was wrong. He was checked out by trainers on the sidelines before heading back to the locker room. When Collins returned, he was not in uniform.
