What happened: Collins injured his hamstring at Wednesday's practice and is in jeopardy of missing Houston's Week 2 trip to Cincinnati. Burrow said he is dealing with back tightness but expects to play for the Bengals. Burrow's practice status for the rest of the week remains unclear.
Why it matters: Houston's passing game has leaned heavily on Nico Collins, so any limitation would hit the Texans going into an early AFC matchup. Burrow being available keeps Cincinnati's offense on its normal track even as the Bengals manage his workload late in the week.
By the numbers: Collins opened the season with seven catches for 75 yards and a touchdown against Buffalo. He has been Houston's leading receiver throughout his run as the club's top wideout.
What to watch: Houston's final injury report will determine whether Collins carries a game designation into Sunday. Cincinnati's late-week practice reports should show whether Burrow's reps change before kickoff.
