Texans' Nico Collins: Practicing Friday

Houston Texans wideout Nico Collins will practice with the team Friday

Wide receiver Nico Collins practiced with the Houston Texans on Friday for the first time since suffering a foot injury against the Los Angeles Chargers in Week 16.

Collins was limited in practice after reaggravating the foot injury in the Texans' Week 17 loss to the Jacksonville Jaguars. The wideout missed the Texans' season finale against the Indianapolis Colts.

Collins' return to practice is a positive sign for the Texans, who are preparing for their Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. Collins has been a key part of the Texans' offense this season, leading the team with 64 receptions for 819 yards and five touchdowns.

Collins' return is a boost for the Texans' offense

Collins' return to practice is a boost for the Texans' offense, which has struggled in recent weeks. The Texans have lost four of their last five games and are averaging just 15.2 points per game during that span.

Collins is a big target at 6'4", 215 pounds, and he is a strong blocker in the running game. He has also shown good hands and the ability to make tough catches. Collins' return will give the Texans a much-needed playmaker on the outside.

Texans hope to have Collins back in the lineup for Week 18

The Texans are hoping to have Collins back in the lineup for their Week 18 matchup against the Tennessee Titans. The Titans are a tough opponent, but the Texans will need all hands on deck if they want to win and keep their playoff hopes alive.

Collins' return to practice is a positive sign for the Texans, but it remains to be seen if he will be able to play in Week 18. The Texans will continue to monitor his progress and make a decision on his status later this week.
