Dalton Schultz could see increased involvement for Houston in Week 2 if wide receiver Nico Collins is unavailable against Cincinnati. Collins sustained a hamstring injury at Houston's Wednesday practice, according to a SI.com report that cited ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The Texans do not consider the injury serious, but Collins' status for the game has not been settled. Houston could also be cautious because Collins previously had a Grade 2 hamstring strain in 2024 that led to a stint on injured reserve.
Schultz led the Texans in receptions in 2025, with 82 catches for 777 yards. His usage also rose last season after Collins exited Houston's Week 7 matchup with the Seattle Seahawks. Schultz received 10 targets in that game and ended it with nine receptions for 98 yards.
A final update on whether Collins will face Cincinnati was not included in the source report.
