Texans’ Collins suffers concussion vs. Seahawks

SEATTLE — Houston Texans wideout Nico Collins suffered a concussion during a 27-19 loss Monday to the Seattle Seahawks, according to coach DeMeco Ryans.

«We’ll evaluate him as the week goes on,» Ryans said.

In the early portion of the fourth quarter, quarterback C.J. Stroud threw a back-shoulder pass on the sideline to Collins with Seahawks cornerback Josh Jobe in coverage. The Pro Bowl wideout leaped up for the pass but couldn’t secure the catch while falling to the ground, and his head struck the turf.

Collins gingerly got up with medical assistance and entered the blue tent for further evaluation before being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

Before the injury, he had four catches for 27 yards on 10 targets.

San Francisco 49ers. The Texans were already without Christian Kirk (hamstring) Monday. If Collins and Kirk can’t go next week, Houston will rely on Xavier Hutchinson and the rookie duo of Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel to fill the void.
