Texans say WR Nico Collins didn't have a setback

On Tuesday, Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans was asked about the decision to keep Nico Collins on the bench. He said, via multiple reporters, that Collins did not suffer a setback with his injury and the team simply made a game-time decision to leave him in street clothes.

Fantasy Impact: 

The Texans activated Collins from injured reserve last Saturday, much to the excitement of his fantasy owners. The story said it was a surprise that the team went ahead with activating Collins, who had missed four games with a hamstring injury, without playing him because he could have remained on injured reserve and practiced with the team for another two weeks before nearing the end of the window to bring him back to the 53-man roster. The hope is Collins is back for Week 11, but it's a Monday night game at Dallas, so owners will have to look to get some good news later this week, or have a backup plan heading into Monday night if he's a game-time call.
