(SportsRadio 610) - The Texans ruled out three starters, including wide receiver Nico Collins, for Sunday's game against the Tennessee Titans.
Right guard A.J. Cann (illness), and defensive tackle Maliek Collins (chest) join Nico Collins (groin) as the Texans' starters who will not play Sunday at NRG Stadium when the team hosts the AFC South rival.
To compensate for the losses, Houston elevated wide receiver Jalen Camp and offensive lineman K.C. McDermott from the practice squad.
Justin McCray is likely to start in place of Cann at right guard, while McDermott provides depth. Camp gets his first regular season action since catching three passes for 62 yards and a touchdown in the preseason.

The interior defensive line should continue to see a rotation of rookies Kurt Hinish and Thomas Booker alongside Roy Lopez. The Texans also recently signed Jaleel Johnson, who was with the team last season.
Notably, the Titans will be without starting quarterback Ryan Tannehill, who is also dealing with an illness. That means rookie Malik Willis gets his first career start against the Texans' defense.
