The Houston Texans will reportedly be without superstar receiver Nico Collins for at least the next four games due to a hamstring injury.

Over the next four weeks, the Texans will face the Patriots, Packers, Colts, and Jets.

Wednesday on First Take, Stephen A. Smith downplayed the significance of the injury, saying this will give CJ Stroud the opportunity to get Stefon Diggs more involved in the offense during Collins' absence.

Smith also made the point that the AFC South is a weak division, and the team should go at least 2-2 over the next four games based on the schedule.

However, ESPN analyst Jeff Saturday doesn't see things the same way. He believes this injury is a big deal for Houston, because he views CJ Stroud and Nico Collins as the best QB/WR duo in the NFL. Something that can't be easily replaced, even with Stefon Diggs and Tank Dell ready to step up in Collins' place.
