Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins left Monday's 30-6 wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers after suffering a concussion.
Collins' head hit the ground while he tried to make a catch. He left the field on a cart minutes later and didn't return for the remainder of the fourth quarter.

Collins caught three passes for 21 yards before exiting the matchup. The 26-year-old has led the Texans in receiving yards each of the past three seasons.
Collins has three 1,000-yard seasons under his belt despite having yet to play a full NFL season due to injuries. He posted 1,117 yards and six touchdowns on 71 receptions across 15 games in 2025.
With the 2021 third-round pick sidelined, Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, and Xavier Hutchinson headline Houston's group of wide receivers.
The Texans will play the New England Patriots on Sunday.
