Collins (hamstring) was a limited practice participant Thursday.

Collins, who the Texans had placed on injured reserve Oct. 9, was designated to return from IR this past Friday and then logged one limited practice ahead of Sunday night's loss to the Lions, a game that he was inactive for. With the wideout poised to practice all week ahead of Monday night's contest against the Cowboys, he's trending toward seeing his first game action since Oct. 6, when he suffered a pulled hamstring versus the Bills. Now that Collins has moved past his injury, he's in line to reclaim his high-volume role as the top option in a Houston wideout corps that also features Tank Dell, with Xavier Hutchinson, John Metchie and Robert Woods also in the mix. In the five games he's played in this season, Collins has put up a 32/567/3 receiving line on 45 targets.
