    CJ Stroud and the Houston Texans the passing game seriously missed the No. 1 receiver Nico Collins since the fourth-year pro suffered a hamstring injury during the team’s Week 5 win over the Buffalo Bills.

    It doesn’t seem like the team will have to wait too long before reinserting him into their lineup.

    THE Texans Collins has officially been designated to return from IR on Friday, November 8. This opens a 21-day window in which Collins can practice with the Texans without taking up a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.

    Houston will have to activate Collins to the 53-man roster before he can play again. This decision must be made within 21 days; if the Texans don’t do so, the 6-4 player will miss the remainder of the season with his injury.

    Collins is not in danger of the latter scenario happening, at least not now. But will he be able to play in week 10 against the Detroit Lions? That’s the looming question Texans and Lions fans will want answered before their “Sunday Night Football” matchup.

    Will Nico Collins play week 10?

    Collins’ status for Week 10 remains murky even after he returned to practice Friday. He missed the team’s sessions Wednesday and Thursday and head coach DeMeco Ryans was evasive when asked about the 25-year-old’s status for Sunday’s battle of the division leaders.

    “Nico, he’s fine,” Ryans said after Wednesday’s practice. according to KPRC 2’s Aaron Wilson. “We’ll see where he ends up.”

    That said, Collins’ presence at Friday’s practice could at least give him a chance to see the field. According to WilsonThe veteran receiver entered Week 10 having passed all tests related to his hamstring with “no tests.”etbacks” and had “regained speed and mobility”.

    This made Collins “ready to go” as he became eligible to return from IR before the Texans vs. Lions game.

    Still, fans and fantasy owners will have to wait to find out Collins’ status if Ryans doesn’t address it Friday. Collins will not appear on Houston’s injury report as he remains on IR, despite his return designation.

    The Texans are expected to officially reinstate Collins to the 53-man roster so he can play in Week 10 against the Lions. If that doesn’t happen, he’ll miss at least one more game before aiming for a return in Week 11 against the Dallas Cowboys.

    If Collins is activated, that means the Texans are confident he can play against the Lions.

    As such, Houston’s roster moves will be worth monitoring over the weekend. They could reveal a lot about the team’s plans at wide receiver in their second “Sunday Night Football” game of the season.
