Nico Collins unlikely for Divisional Round vs. Patriots due to concussion

Texans WR Nico Collins is considered unlikely to clear concussion protocol in time for Sunday's Divisional Round game against the Patriots. He sustained a concussion Monday and has missed both Wednesday and Thursday practices. Collins' absence is a major blow to Houston's passing game, as he led the team with 1,117 receiving yards, significantly more than any other receiver. Jayden Higgins, Christian Kirk, Xavier Hutchinson, and Jaylin Noel are prepared to step up in his place.
