'I am very excited to have my guy back': Nico Collins set to return vs. Cowboys
Nico Collins is set to return to the field this week after missing the last two games with a groin injury. The wide receiver has been a key part of the Texans' offense this season, leading the team in receiving yards and touchdowns. His return is a boost for a Texans team that is looking to snap a four-game losing streak.
Collins was injured in the Texans' Week 13 loss to the Browns. He aggravated the injury in practice the following week and missed the Texans' Week 14 loss to the Saints. Collins returned to practice on a limited basis last week and was able to participate in full this week.
The Texans are hoping that Collins can provide a spark to their offense. The Texans have struggled to score points in recent weeks, averaging just 15.3 points per game over their last four games. Collins is a big target and a physical receiver who can make plays down the field. He is also a good blocker, which can help the Texans' running game.
The Texans will face a tough challenge this week when they travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys. The Cowboys have one of the best defenses in the NFL, allowing just 18.1 points per game. However, the Texans are confident that Collins can help them move the ball and score points.
"I am very excited to have my guy back," Texans quarterback Davis Mills said. "He is a big part of our offense and he makes everyone else better. I know he is going to be ready to go on Sunday."
Collins is excited to be back on the field and help his team. He knows that the Texans need him to step up and make plays. He is confident that he can do that and help the Texans get back on track.
"I am feeling good," Collins said. "My groin is feeling better and I am ready to go. I am excited to be back on the field with my teammates and I am ready to help this team win."
