What happened: Adam Schefter reported Nico Collins met with doctors after hurting his hamstring during Wednesday's practice. The early medical read was encouraging, though Houston still enters the back half of the week without certainty on his availability for Sunday against Cincinnati.

Why it matters: The timing leaves the Texans with limited practice time to see whether Collins can progress before a final game-status call. It also extends the concern from his limited Wednesday practice listing into a key weekend matchup with the Bengals.

What to watch: Houston's next practice report should show whether Collins returns to fuller work before Sunday. His final game designation will be the clearest signal on whether he can play against Cincinnati.
