  • 49ers' Maliek Collins: Traded from Houston to SF

    Collins is slated to be traded from the Texans to the 49ers in exchange for a seventh-round draft pick, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

    Javon Hargrave dealt with a torn ligament in his thumb down the stretch, and the 49ers are expected to release Arik Armstead (knee); therefore, the addition of Collins solves San Francisco's need for a defensive tackle. Collins started 16 games for the Texans in 2023 and set a new career high in tackles (41) while tying his previous best mark with 5.0 sacks.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Good to go

    Collins (hip) is active for Saturday's wild-card matchup with the Browns.

    Collins played through the issue in the Texans' regular-season finale and was able to practice in limited fashion in back-to-back days to close out the week. Barring any setbacks, look for him to take on his usual role on Houston's defense.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Questionable for wild-card round

    Collins (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game versus the Browns.

    Collins was able to play through his hip injury in Houston's regular-season finale, so he is probably on the 'probable' end of the questionable designation. If he can't play Saturday, Kurt Hinish would figure to see more work on the interior of the defensive line.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Misses first practice this week

    Collins (hip) didn't practice Tuesday.

    Collins missed Week 17 but was able to play in last weekend's win over the Colts, playing 52 percent of the defensive snaps. Tuesday was likely more of a rest day for the veteran. Collins finished the regular season with 41 tackles (19 solo), 18 quarterback hits and 5.0 sacks.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Back at practice Wednesday

    Collins (hip) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday.

    Collins took a step toward potentially playing Saturday by practicing in a limited capacity Wednesday after missing Tuesday's session entirely. He'll still probably have to log a full practice Thursday to avoid carrying an injury designation into Friday and possibly gameday.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Will play Week 18

    Collins (hip) is active for Saturday's game against the Colts, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

    Collins missed Week 17 against the Titans with a hip injury but will make his return for the Texans' regular-season finale. He has a career-high 38 tackles (16 solo) over 15 games this season, and his 5.0 sacks is tied for his career best with his 2016 season as a member of the Cowboys.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Has shot to play Saturday

    Collins (hip) is listed as questionable for Saturday's game at Indianapolis.

    Collins was able to return to practice Thursday after missing practice Tuesday and Wednesday, giving himself a chance to suit up in Week 18. However, if he can't play Saturday, Kurt Hinish would project for an increased workload.

  • Texans' Maliek Collins: Won't play Sunday

    Collins (hip) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Drew Dougherty of the Texans' official site reports.

    Houston's top defensive tackle was held out of practice all week with a hip injury, which makes it no surprise that he'll be unavailable in Week 17. Khalil Davis should see increased snaps filling in for Collins on the Texans' defensive line, and the 28-year-old's next chance to play will come in Week 18 against the Colts.
