Nico Collins injury opens door for Mitchell Tinsley in Bengals matchup

Nico Collins of the Houston Texans is likely to miss the upcoming game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a Grade 1 hamstring strain sustained during practice. This injury compounds the Texans' receiving woes, as they are already without Tank Dell and Jayden Higgins. In Collins' absence, former Bengal Mitchell Tinsley could be called up from the practice squad. Tinsley, previously cut by the Bengals this summer, has been with the Texans and could see significant playing time if Collins remains inactive. Team sources suggest Tinsley made several key plays last season and could step into a larger role.
