The Houston Texans will be down a key piece for their divisional-round showdown.
Star wide receiver Nico Collins won't play Sunday against the New England Patriots due to a concussion, the team announced on Friday.
Collins suffered the injury during the Texans' 30-6 wild-card win over the Pittsburgh Steelers, exiting after snagging three catches for 21 yards.
For the season, Collins hauled in 71 catches for 1,117 yards and six touchdowns despite missing two games due to a hamstring injury.
It marked the 26-year-old's third straight season crossing the 1,000-yard barrier.
Collins' absence will be a blow to quarterback C.J. Stroud and the Texans offence, which mustered just one touchdown and 16 points against the Steelers.
