Sunday Night Football: Nico Collins, Za'Darius Smith inactive for Texans-Lions

As it turns out, Nico Collins won't be playing in Week 10.

Although Houston added Collins to its 53-man roster on Saturday, the receiver is inactive for Sunday night's game between the Texans and Lions.

Collins has been sidelined since suffering a hamstring injury in Week 5. So far in 2024, he has recorded 32 receptions for 567 yards with three touchdowns, averaging a league-leading 113.4 yards per game.

However, the Texans will have Tank Dell. He is active after starting the weekend in doubt due to a back injury. He was added to the report as a restricted participant on Friday.

Collins, defensive end Will Anderson Jr., running back Dameon Pierce, linebacker Jamal Hill, cornerback Myles Bryant and offensive lineman Zach Thomas comprise Houston's full list of inactives.

On the other hand, newly signed defensive end Za'Darius Smith will not make his Lions debut against the Texans as he is inactive.

Left tackle Taylor Decker, linebacker Malcolm Rodriguez, safety Loren Strickland, offensive lineman Colby Sorsdal, guard Christian Mahogany and offensive tackle Giovani Manu are also inactive for Detroit.
