Houston Texans receiver Nico Collins suffers concussion in loss to Seattle and could miss 49ers game
SEATTLE - Houston Texans receiver Nico Collins sustained a concussion late in Monday's 27-19 loss to the Seahawks and will be in concussion protocol, coach DeMeco Ryans said early Tuesday morning.
The Seattle Seahawks (5-2) triumphed 27-19 over the Houston Texans (2-4) in a game that wasn't as close as the scoreboard indicated. Seattle struggled to get out of their own way, committing four turnovers -- their most in a game since 2020.
Houston’s defense did a lot of good things Monday night against the Seattle Seahawks. The same could not be said of the offense. The Texans forced four turnovers and scored a defensive touchdown, but the offense squandered opportunity after opportunity in the 27-19 loss that snapped a two-game winning streak and dropped them to 2-4.
