'I am very excited to have my guy back': Nico Collins set to return vs. Cowboys

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins is expected to make his return to the lineup this week against the Dallas Cowboys.

Collins has been sidelined since Week 1 with a high-ankle sprain. He returned to practice last week and was a full participant in practice on Wednesday and Thursday.

The Texans are hoping that Collins can provide a boost to their passing game. The team is currently ranked 29th in the NFL in passing yards per game.

Collins is a key part of the Texans' offense.

He is a big, physical receiver who can make plays down the field. He also has good hands and is a reliable target for quarterback Davis Mills.

The Texans are hoping that Collins can help them get back on track after a disappointing start to the season. The team is currently 1-4-1 and in last place in the AFC South.

Collins is excited to be back on the field.

"I am very excited to have my guy back," Mills said. "He is a great player and he makes my job a lot easier."

Collins is also looking forward to getting back on the field and helping the Texans win games.

"I am just ready to go out there and play football," Collins said. "I am excited to be back with my teammates and I am ready to help this team win."
