Texans WR Nico Collins: 'Slot magician' Christian Kirk impressing in Houston
Our Summary
The Houston Texans' wide receiver lineup is facing challenges with Stefon Diggs gone and Tank Dell injured. The team has bolstered its roster by drafting Iowa State's Jayden Higgins and Jaylin Noel and trading for veteran Christian Kirk. Kirk, praised by teammate Nico Collins for his work ethic and leadership, is expected to enhance the Texans' play. Despite injury setbacks in 2024, Kirk is seen as a valuable addition in the slot position. With Dell's uncertain availability, others like John Metchie III, Xavier Hutchinson, Justin Watson, and Braxton Berrios are competing for opportunities to support Collins. The Texans prepare for an intense battle for targets during offseason workouts and training camp.
