Texans WR Nico Collins Returns to Limited Practice, Expected to Clear Concussion Protocol

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins returned to practice on Wednesday, participating in a limited capacity as he progresses through concussion protocol. Collins missed Sunday's game but coach DeMeco Ryans expressed confidence in his availability for this week's game against the Broncos, indicating he should clear protocol in time. Ryans highlighted Collins, along with Christian Kirk, as top playmakers who add an explosive element to the offense, expressing excitement for their potential return.
