Texans WR Nico Collins is off the injury report after missing the last two games with a hamstring. He's good to go again Via @jjones9 on X

What happened: Collins has been removed from Houston's injury report ahead of the Cowboys game after sitting out the last two contests with a hamstring issue. His availability restores a key piece of the Texans offense for Week 4.

Why it matters: Houston gets back Nico Collins after a week in which his status had been trending toward a return. That gives the Texans their top outside target back for a matchup with Dallas after two games of adjusting without him.

By the numbers: Collins missed 2 games with the hamstring and had been listed as questionable on Sept. 29 before being removed from the report.

What to watch: Houston's inactive list will close the loop on his game-day availability, but the injury designation is no longer a barrier. The next question is how large a workload he handles in his first game back.
