Nico Collins one of four Texans players ruled out for Week 2
Houston will be without four starters after injuries in practice, leaving the Texans short-handed on both offense and defense against Cincinnati.
On Friday, the Houston Texans ruled out four starters for Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals, including wide receiver Nico Collins and right guard Ed Ingram.
Collins, sidelined by a hamstring strain suffered during Wednesday's practice, joins defensive end Jadeveon Clowney and linebacker Jake Hummel after all three missed practice sessions this week.
Veteran Wyatt Teller steps in for Ingram at right guard, while trade acquisition Kayshon Boutte faces increased responsibilities after the team lost receiver Jayden Higgins to injury.
Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow is officially listed as questionable with back tightness, though he practiced in full on Friday and is expected to play Sunday.
Houston hosts Cincinnati at Reliant Stadium on Sunday at 1 p.m. ET, with both teams navigating significant roster challenges in this key AFC matchup.
