Houston Texans beat writer Jonathan M. Alexander fielded reader questions this week in a mailbag column for the Houston Chronicle, with the team's second-half outlook and wide receiver Nico Collins' future dominating the discussion.
Collins, who has emerged as one of the NFL's top receivers, was the subject of trade speculation linking him to the Kansas City Chiefs. The rumors gained traction among readers seeking clarity on whether Houston's front office would consider moving the 25-year-old playmaker.
The mailbag also addressed broader expectations for the Texans as they navigate the latter portion of the 2026 season. Alexander's column, published Wednesday, November 4, 2026, reflects the heightened interest surrounding a franchise that has shown competitive flashes but faces critical roster decisions ahead.
