Landon Collins’ 2017 season came to an end because of a broken arm, suffered late last year. He had surgery on it, but apparently there has been a setback.
Now, the New York Giants safety (and former Alabama star) may miss most of the offseason, as another surgery may be required.
According to Mike Garafolo, the injury isn’t healing like it should and a plate may need to be inserted (via Pro Football Talk):
Collins’ broken arm isn’t healing as quickly as hoped and he might need another surgery to put a plate in his arm, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Collins is one of the best safeties in the NFL, so the Giants are hoping his injury doesn’t cause him to miss any regular-season time.
However, with a new coaching staff coming in this offseason, not being able to participate in OTAs will have Collins playing catchup when he does get back on the field.
