Houston could have two key players back when it faces the Dallas Cowboys in Week 4. Coach DeMeco Ryans said wide receiver Nico Collins and guard Ed Ingram have a chance to play Sunday after each missed the previous two games. The Texans are hopeful both will be available. The game is scheduled for noon at Reliant Stadium.
Collins, a Pro Bowl receiver and three-time 1,000-yard player, has been absent as Houston has struggled to produce on the outside. Dalton Schultz has been the main exception. Xavier Hutchinson totaled nine receptions for 120 yards during the last two games, while Collins earlier had seven receptions, 75 yards and a touchdown in a game against the Buffalo Bills.
Ingram's absence has moved Wyatt Teller into the starting right guard role. Houston has produced 130 rushing yards and one rushing touchdown in its last two games. Defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who has missed two games with a knee injury, is still considered week-to-week.
The Texans' previous game included five sacks and two forced fumbles despite absences on the edge. Sports.yahoo.com reported the update Sept. 28, 2026.
