The Facts: Collins was expected to sign with a team before the 2019 season kicked off in September. Unfortunately for the free-agent running back, he'll have to wait longer than expected to see the field again. The former Ravens RB suffered a broken leg two weeks ago and recently had surgery to repair the injury.
Diehards Line:A 2016 fifth-round pick of the Seattle Seahawks, Collins joined the Ravens in 2017, when he led the team in rushing yards (973) and yards from scrimmage (1,160). His impact on Baltimore's offense was diluted in 2018, as he shared carries with Gus Edwards and Kenneth Dixon. Collins racked up 411 rushing yards (third on team) and eight total TDs (first) in 2018 before being placed on injured reserve with a foot injury. Collins was a candidate to be tendered by Baltimore, but after the RB was arrested following a car crash in March, the Ravens waived him. Collins has since been charged possession with intent to distribute, possession of marijuana in excess of 10 grams and possession of a handgun in a vehicle. Collins' legal situation is wrapping up shortly and that the running back, before breaking his leg, had interest from teams and was expected to play in 2019. Now the running back's future in football will have to be put on hold.
