Trent Brown was back on the Houston Texans' practice field Thursday, but wide receiver Nico Collins remained sidelined before the team's Week 3 game against the Indianapolis Colts. Collins has now missed two practices this week and four sessions in a row since sustaining his injury. The available report gave no further information about his condition.
Brown, who is listed with wrist and knee injuries, has started both of Houston's regular-season games. His return gives the Texans a possible continuation of their established starter at right tackle for Sunday's game, provided he keeps progressing. Across those two games, Brown has been charged with four penalties, eight pressures and one sack.
Houston chose Brown for the starting job after Braden Smith's preseason foot injury sent Smith to injured reserve for the season's first four weeks. Blake Fisher and Nate Thomas are the other tackles listed behind Brown. Fisher entered the league as a 2024 second-round selection, while the Texans acquired Thomas in a trade during roster cutdowns.
