Nico Collins Ruled Out for Sunday’s Game
The Houston Texans are gearing up for their playoff appearance next weekend. However, uncertainty surrounds where they will play and their seed in the postseason. As they prepare for their final regular season game, the team has decided to prioritize player health.
Nico Collins Ruled Out for Sunday’s Game Against the Colts
Reports indicate that wide receiver Nico Collins will not take the field against the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. Despite being listed on the injury report, his absence is due to rest rather than an injury. Collins does not carry an injury designation for the game.
Texans’ Wide Receiver Depth
In Collins’ absence, the Texans will rely on several other receivers to step up. The current lineup includes:
- Jayden Higgins
- Christian Kirk
- Jaylin Noel
- Xavier Hutchinson
- Justin Watson
- Braxton Berrios
Playoff Implications for the Texans
The Texans’ playoff positioning depends heavily on their performance against the Colts. To secure the AFC South title, they must defeat Indianapolis. Additionally, the Jacksonville Jaguars need to lose to the Tennessee Titans for the Texans to clinch the division.
Should the Texans win and the Jaguars also win, they would be positioned as the fifth seed in the playoffs. If they lose, however, they could end up in one of three wild card slots.
