Texans' Nico Collins says he'll play against Cowboys

HOUSTON -- Nico Collins says he'll be back on the field for the Houston Texans when they take on the Dallas Cowboys on "Monday Night Football."

"Hell yeah, I'm playing this week," he told ESPN on Friday.

The star receiver missed the Texans' last five games after suffered a hamstring injury in a 23-20 win over the Buffalo Bills in Week 5. He came off injured reserve and practiced last Friday ahead of Houston's matchup against the Detroit Lions but didn't play.

He was limited in practice Thursday and then upgraded to a full participant Friday this week.
