This article was originally published on www.si.com/nfl/texans/onsi as Texans Reveal Final Injury Report for Broncos Showdown. The Houston Texans will have a few names on the roster in question leading up to their Week 9 matchup vs. the Denver Broncos.

The Houston Texans will have receivers Nico Collins and Christian Kirk back to place Denver, and Woody Marks and Dalton Schultz on track as well.

The Denver Broncos already face a tough battle against the Houston Texans on Sunday, and the degree of difficulty got a little harder today when Denver learned that receivers Nico Collins and Christian Kirk will return from injuries,

It's also worth noting that the Broncos’ All-Pro linebacker Dre Greenlaw will return to the fold after missing one game through suspension, so it will be no mean feat for Stroud and Co. to gain positive traction irrespective of Surtain being sidelined.

Down in Dove Valley, newly minted Broncos left guard Alex Palczewski’s locker sits directly across from Garett Bolles. And for a 26-year-old who profiles as a tackle and says his last time playing on the left side of the O-line was the “Obama administration,” there may not be a better mentor in the NFL than the 33-year-old Bolles.

When Denver sends a five-man rush, it has a 51.8% pressure rate, second best. When it sends four, there's still a pressure rate of 42%, by far the best. Overall on the season, the Broncos pressure signal-callers on 45.9% of their dropbacks, the best.

Nico Collins missed the Texans' Week 8 win over the 49ers with a concussion. Will he return to the field in Week 9?

The Denver Broncos head into a Week 9 matchup with the Houston Texans tied for the longest win streak in the NFL and on the heels of a Texas-sized smackdown of the Dallas Cowboys in Week 8.

The Texans expect two wideouts to return vs. the Broncos as Nico Collins is out of concussion protocol and Christian Kirk has recovered from a hamstring injury.

Here’s how the Texans and Broncos stack up statistically ahead of Sunday's matchup at NRG Stadium in Week 9 of the NFL regular season.
