It has been another strong season for Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins.

Despite missing two games, Collins still finished with over 1,100 yards and scored six touchdowns, once again serving as quarterback C.J. Stroud's No. 1 target.

However, Collins is off to a slow start in the wild-card game against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night.

Here's what's going on.

Is Nico Collins playing tonight?

Yes, Collins is active and he even received a target on the Texans' opening drive, but he couldn't reel it in.

One thing to watch is Collins got banged-up on his target. He was able to return to the game, but it remains to be seen if he's completely healthy.

Hopefully he gets going soon.
