What happened: After opening camp on active/PUP July 23, Collins completed his recovery from the quad injury that ended his 2025 season. Two players were waived in Monday's accompanying roster moves.

Why it matters: The clearance restores an experienced interior option before the 2026 season. Collins can now resume football work after missing the entire training camp practice schedule.

By the numbers: Collins recorded career highs of 6.5 sacks and 13 quarterback hits across 12 games in 2025.

What to watch: His practice participation and availability for the preseason finale are the next indicators to watch.
