The Houston Texans had right tackle Trent Brown back at practice Thursday, while wide receiver Nico Collins remained absent before the team’s Week 3 matchup with the Indianapolis Colts. Brown had missed the previous session and has been listed with wrist and knee injuries.
Brown has started both regular-season games and could remain the Texans’ right tackle if his progress continues before Sunday. He was chosen for the starting job after Braden Smith suffered a preseason foot injury, which put Smith on injured reserve through the season’s first four weeks. In two games, Brown has recorded eight pressures, four penalties and one sack.
Collins’ latest absence was his second missed practice this week and his fourth straight missed session since his injury. The available report gives no further information about his status. Blake Fisher and Nate Thomas are listed behind Brown at tackle. Fisher entered the league as a 2024 second-round selection, while the Texans acquired Thomas in a trade during roster cutdowns.
