Nico Collins returns for Texans against Cowboys after five-game injury absence

Houston receiver Nico Collins is active for the game against the Dallas Cowboys, returning after a five-game absence due to a hamstring injury. He previously led the NFL in receiving yards before his injury. Texans defensive end Will Anderson Jr. is out with an ankle injury, while cornerback Kamari Lassiter is sidelined with a concussion. Collins was activated last week but did not play in the previous game against Detroit. The Cowboys have placed quarterback Dak Prescott on injured reserve after surgery for a torn hamstring. Receiver CeeDee Lamb is active despite a back issue, while cornerback Jourdan Lewis is out with a neck injury.
