Collins played in 15 games for Cincinatti last season and started all of them. Before joining the Bengals, Collins spent his entire NFL career with the Dallas Cowboys.
It’s a shame that things didn’t work out for the veteran OL with Cincinatti. He helped bolster the Bengals’ offensive line and his presence will be missed.
The Bengals struggled in the season opener on the road in Cleveland. The offense was limited to just 142 total yards. Joe Burrow had only 82 yards passing in the 24-3 loss to the Cleveland Browns.
It’ll be interesting to see who the Bengals will bring on in Collins’ place.
