Nico Collins, A.J. Cann, Maliek Collins ruled out for Texans

BMB6huhO3mGT
The Texans have some good things going for them, but not enough for Chris Simms and Mike Florio to believe they'll take down the Titans on Sunday.

The Titans ruled out quarterback Ryan Tannehill for Sunday’s game in Houston and the Texans announced later on Saturday that they’ve ruled out three players of their own.

Right guard A.J. Cann, defensive tackle Maliek Collins, and wide receiver Nico Collins have all been downgraded to out for Sunday. All three players were listed as questionable on Friday,

Nico Collins missed practice all week with a groin injury. He has 18 catches for 305 yards so far this season and his absence will give more playing time to Chris Moore, Phillip Dorsett, and Tyron Johnson alongside Brandin Cooks.

Cann is dealing with an illness. Justin McCray is expected to start in his place.

Maliek Collins is out with a chest injury. Roy Lopez, Kurt Hinish, Thomas Booker, and Jaleel Johnson are on hand on the interior of the defensive line.
