The Houston Texans punched their ticket to the AFC Division Game against the New England Patriots , but they might have to play without one of their stars.
Nico Collins suffered a concussion late in the third quarter of Houston’s 30-6 win over the Pittsburgh Steelers . The wide receiver fell on his face after a pass from C.J. Stroud and appeared to be in pain after the play.
Collins walked to sideline and was eventually carted to the locker room with a towel over his head.
Texans coach DeMeco Ryans didn’t have an update after the game.
“We’ll see how the week goes,” he told reporters .
Collins suffered a concussion earlier this season in Week 7 and missed one game before he returned in Week 9.
The 26-year-old led the Texans with 1,117 receiving yards during the regular season.
Houston is on a short week of rest after playing Monday and traveling to Foxborough for its AFC Division Game against the Patriots on Sunday.
