Aaron Wilson is an award-winning Texans and NFL reporter for KPRC 2 and www.click2houston.com. He has covered the NFL since 1997, including previous stints for The Houston Chronicle and The Baltimore Sun. This marks his 10th year covering the Texans after previously covering a Super Bowl winning team in Baltimore.

Head coach Aaron Glenn has yet to formally announce the Jets' starting quarterback, but veteran Tyrod Taylor (knee) should be good to go if he's officially promoted over Justin Fields. His top wideout, Garrett Wilson, is considered day-to-day with his own knee issue.

Wide receiver Christian Kirk has played in only three games, and he remained out of practice on Wednesday with a hamstring injury. In addition, wide receiver Nico Collins missed Wednesday’s session with a concussion that he was diagnosed with in the fourth quarter on Monday night.

Texans are leaning on rookies Jaylin Noel and Jayden Higgins and Xavier Hutchinson with Nico Collins, Christian Kirk out

Collins (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, DJ Bien-Aime of ESPN.com reports. The same applies fellow wideout Christian Kirk (hamstring), which gives the duo one more chance to practice before Week 8 injury designations are assigned.

Collins hit his head against the turf early in the fourth quarter. He was shown on the ESPN broadcast entering the sideline medical tent and subsequently heading to the locker room for further evaluation. Collins has four catches for 27 yards so far on Monday night.
