Wolverines in the NFL: Nico Collins explodes in Week 4 return

Houston Texans wide receiver Nico Collins made a strong return from a two-game absence due to a hamstring injury, delivering an immediate impact in Week 4. He racked up seven receptions for 118 yards and two touchdowns in Houston’s tight 34-30 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, including a 45-yard grab on the first play of his comeback and another score in the third quarter.

Collins’ performance provided a much-needed spark for a Texans offense struggling without its top playmaker, signaling his readiness to resume a key role after missing the prior two contests.

Elsewhere, Michigan’s NFL alumni continued to shine across the league. Pittsburgh’s Roman Wilson, a former Wolverine, extended his recent momentum with three catches for 74 yards and a touchdown in a 27-24 loss to Cleveland, marking his second straight game with a score.

Meanwhile, undrafted rookie Dominic Zvada, another Michigan product, remained perfect on all three field-goal attempts for the New York Giants, connecting from 39, 50, and 52 yards in a 36-24 win over Arizona. However, Cleveland Browns defensive standout Mason Graham suffered a setback, exiting the team’s Week 4 win over Pittsburgh with an MCL sprain and ankle injury, forcing a week-to-week evaluation of his return.

The injury cut short a dominant early season, as Graham had led the NFL with four sacks through four games before the setback.
