The Facts: Collins was arrested Friday morning following a car crash in Owings Mills, according to Baltimore County police and the team.
Diehards Line:
Police responded to a report of a car that had crashed into a tree on the 10000 block of Dolfield Road at about 6:48 a.m., Baltimore County police spokeswoman Officer Jennifer Peach said. The location is approximately a mile away from the team facility. Collins, 24, was arrested, Peach said. Charges against him were not immediately available. Ravens vice president of public relations Chad Steele told The Baltimore Sun that the team has spoken with police and is aware of the situation. It’s unclear whether he was driving at the time of the crash. ... Collins struggled last year after a breakout season in 2017 for the Ravens. He was placed on injured reserve in early December, prematurely ending his season in the middle of the Ravens' run to the playoffs. He started every game until Week 12 but averaged just 3.6 yards per carry and didn't have a run of longer than 19 yards. Collins finished the season with 411 rushing yards, less than half his total from the season before (973), when he captivated fans with his downhill running style, shoulder-length dreadlocks and Irish dance touchdown celebrations. Collins is a restricted free agent, meaning his future in Baltimore is not guaranteed. Coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday that Gus Edwards is the team’s top running back, and he indicated that the Ravens would add some competition to the position this offseason.
