Houston Chronicle\u2019s Jonathan Alexander<\/a>.<\/p>\nCollins is unlikely to play in Sunday\u2019s divisional round game against the New England Patriots because of the steps needed to clear concussion protocol.<\/p>\n
Collins suffered the concussion in Monday\u2019s wild-card 30-6 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers. Collins had 3 catches for 21 yards in the game before going down.<\/p>\n
If Collins cannot go, expect Christian Kirk, Jayden Higgins, and Dalton Schultz to see an increase in targets. Jaylin Noel, Xavier Hutchinson and Cade Stover could also see an increased role.<\/p>\n

“I’m ready whenever they’re ready. You know what I’m saying?” Warner said last week on “The Ryen Russillo Show.<\/a>” There’s some Ts that got to be crossed, Is that got to be dotted. If it were just up to me, I’d be out there this weekend, but it’s unfortunately not that way. I got to make sure I’m checking all the boxes and everybody has to get me the OK before they let me go out there.<\/p>\n“But I’m pushing, man. I’m training hard. I’m back doing full football drills and everything, so time will tell. We got to pull the win out first.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is questionable with an oblique injury for Saturday\u2019s divisional game against the San…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":677353,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[3],"tags":[6032,51077,16919,2868,7,592,253,249,6,533,26954,1878,252,261],"class_list":{"0":"post-680367","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nfl","8":"tag-christian-gonzalez","9":"tag-concussion-protocol","10":"tag-divisional-game","11":"tag-drew-lock","12":"tag-football","13":"tag-fred-warner","14":"tag-houston-texans","15":"tag-new-england-patriots","16":"tag-nfl","17":"tag-nico-collins","18":"tag-oblique-injury","19":"tag-sam-darnold","20":"tag-san-francisco-49ers","21":"tag-seattle-seahawks"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115901607398143535","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680367","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=680367"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/680367\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/677353"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=680367"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=680367"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=680367"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
