Key defenders join Nico Collins on injury report for Texans-Patriots game

The Houston Texans are still in contention for Vince Lombardi Trophy after ending the season of the Pittsburgh Steelers in a 30-6 victory in an AFC Wild Card Round showdown at Acrisure Stadium in Pittsburgh on Monday.

However, there are concerns about the availability for some key Texans players from both sides of the field for this coming Sunday’s AFC Divisional Round clash against the New England Patriots at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts.

Star wide receiver Nico Collins did not practice on Wednesday as he remains in the concussion protocol, according to the Texans’ official injury report for the Patriots game. But apart from Collins, other key Houston players with either a limited participation label or DNP (did not practice) tag on Wednesday, including linebacker Azeez Al-Shaair, defensive end Denico Autry and cornerback Kamari Lassiter.

This story is being updated.
