There were three status changes for the Houston Texans on Thursday.
DID NOT PARTICIPATE
LB Neville Hewitt (hamstring): Hewitt is trending to not play this week.
LIMITED PARTICIPATION
DL Maliek Collins (chest): Collins has now gotten back-to-back limited practices in. He is trending towards being available this week, and the team is optimistic he will be ready to go.
WR Nico Collins (groin): Nico was also injured in the Raiders game like Maliek. Had not practiced for two weeks like Maliek. Has gotten his second limited practice in like Maliek. Team is optimistic he can return like Maliek. However, groins can be tricky, and it would not be a surprise if Maliek is ready to go and they hold Nico back an extra week. The team is optimistic Nico will be able to go.
