Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins will miss the game against the Cincinnati Bengals due to a hamstring injury sustained in practice this week. Collins is joined on the inactive list by Jadeveon Clowney, who has a knee issue, and Ed Ingram, who is dealing with a groin injury. The Texans plan to use a committee approach at wide receiver in Collins' absence, and head coach Nick Caley expressed confidence in the team's depth. Last week, Collins recorded seven receptions for 75 yards and a touchdown in a loss to the Bills.
