Texans WR Diggs: MRI Scheduled for Knee, Status Uncertain
The Houston Texans are holding their breath as wide receiver Nico Collins awaits the results of an MRI on his injured knee. Collins left Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts in the second quarter after taking a hard hit. While the initial diagnosis was a knee sprain, the severity of the injury remains unclear.
Concerns for the Texans Offense
The potential loss of Collins is a significant blow to the Texans' already struggling offense. The 2021 third-round pick has emerged as a reliable target for quarterback C.J. Stroud, showcasing his impressive size and athleticism. Collins' absence could force Stroud to rely heavily on Tank Dell, who has been a bright spot for the Texans in his rookie season.
Impact on the Week 3 Matchup
The Texans face a tough challenge in Week 3, taking on the Pittsburgh Steelers on the road. A healthy Collins would have been crucial for the Texans' chances against a strong Steelers defense. Now, the team will need to adapt and find ways to replace his production.
Collins' Injury History
This is not the first time Collins has dealt with a knee injury. He missed several games in 2022 with a knee injury, highlighting his injury history and adding further concern to his current situation.
What's Next for Collins?
The MRI results will determine the severity of Collins' injury and provide a clearer picture of his potential timeline for return. The Texans will be hoping for a swift recovery, but any significant injury could derail their plans for the young receiver.
Stay Tuned for Updates
The Texans will provide updates on Collins' status as more information becomes available. Fans and fantasy football owners will be eagerly awaiting the results of the MRI, as the news will significantly impact their outlook on the young receiver's future.
