Stroud&#8217;s favorite targets during the first half of the season, especially after Collins went down earlier this year.<\/p>\n<p>His injury also comes at an inopportune time for his career, considering he reworked his contract upon arrival to become a free agent following the 2024 season. The ACL tear could keep him sidelined into the 2025 campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Diggs&#8217; absence figures to put added pressure on Collins once he returns to the lineup, as well as second-year pass target Tank Dell. Reserves Xavier Hutchinson, Robert Woods and John Metchie III could all see an uptick in snaps as a result of Diggs&#8217; loss.<\/p>\n<p>The Texans could also explore the trade market for last-minute insurance, with Carolina Panthers veteran Diontae Johnson among the most notable names available.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Houston Texans escaped Sunday with a win over the rival Indianapolis Colts, but they did not leave unscathed, with star wide receiver Stefon Diggs suffering a&#8230;
