Nico Collins has missed Houston's last two games because of a Grade 1 hamstring strain, and his availability for the Texans' Week 4 matchup with the Cowboys remains uncertain.
Coach DeMeco Ryans said Monday that he is hopeful Collins can play Sunday. Collins has not practiced during the past two weeks, however. To have a realistic chance of returning, he would likely need to participate in practice on a limited basis sometime from Wednesday through Friday.
Houston is 0-3 to open the season, while its offense has struggled during the two games Collins has missed. Ryans' statement is the latest indication of the receiver's status, but it does not establish whether he will be available against Dallas. The information was reported by cbssports.com.
