HOUSTON — The Houston Texans defensive line will be short-handed against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday afternoon. During the first quarter at Allegiant Stadium, veteran Maliek Collins sustained a chest injury and will not return to the game.
Collins has played a valuable part in the Texans defensive front, where he has recorded 11 tackles, two quarterback hits and a pass deflection amid the first five games of the season.
“Maliek, he’s got a great motor,” Houston coach Lovie Smith said. “He’s quick and all of that. We expect that from our three technique — to be able to get off the ball. It all kind of starts with that position a little bit.”
Collins is the second defensive lineman out against the Raiders. Thursday afternoon, Houston placed Jonathan Greenard on injured reserve with a calf injury. Greenard has recorded nine tackles, three quarterback hits and 1.5 sacks in 2022.

With a weakened defensive line unit, the Texans have had a rough time slowing down the Raiders’ rushing attack. Las Vegas (1-4) has already rushed for 68 yards through the first half, lead by Josh Jacobs with 45 on the ground.
