Trent Brown was back with the Houston Texans on Thursday, but Nico Collins remained out as Houston prepared for Sunday’s Week 3 meeting with the Indianapolis Colts. Collins has now missed two practices this week and four straight sessions since his injury. The available report provides no further information about his condition.
Brown is listed with wrist and knee injuries. He has started both regular-season games and could keep the right-tackle job if his progress continues before Sunday. Houston turned to him for that role after Braden Smith sustained a preseason foot injury and was placed on injured reserve through the season’s first four weeks.
In two games, Brown has been charged with four penalties, one sack and eight pressures. Blake Fisher and Nate Thomas are the other tackles listed behind him. Fisher was chosen in the second round of the 2024 draft, while Thomas came to Houston in a trade completed during roster cutdowns.
Brown’s return to practice gives the Texans the possibility of having their regular starting right tackle available against the Colts.
