Making good progress
Collins (hamstring) is making good progress in his recovery, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Collins was forced to miss Sunday's 19-17 loss to the Colts as he continues to nurse a hamstring injury that he suffered Week 1. It was his second straight contest on the bench, but head coach DeMeco Ryans explained following Sunday's loss that the wide receiver has been "progressing really well," leaving the door open for a return in Week 4 for Collins.
