Texans Activate Nico Collins and Dalton Schultz; C.J. Stroud Remains in Concussion Protocol

The Houston Texans will be without quarterback C.J. Stroud for a third consecutive game as he remains in concussion protocol and will miss Thursday's game against the Bills. However, backup quarterback Davis Mills will have key offensive weapons back as wide receiver Nico Collins (ankle) and tight end Dalton Schultz (shoulder) returned to full practice participation on Tuesday. Collins and Schultz were limited on Monday. Stroud had a limited practice on Tuesday, but the short week made his participation unlikely. Linebacker Jamal Hill (hamstring) remained out, while Azeez Al-Shaair (knee/illness), Will Anderson (ankle), Denico Autry (knee), Trent Brown (hand/knee), Tytus Howard (ankle/knee), and Jalen Pitre (concussion) were limited. Pitre has been ruled out for the week.
