La'el Collins
OL - FA
Week 14 Outlook
Availability
The Cowboys are releasing OT La’el Collins.
Fantasy Impact
Collins signed with Dallas at the start of August. He could land a depth role with another team.
The Cowboys have brought back offensive tackle La'el Collins.
Fantasy Impact
Collins was drafted by the Cowboys and was with them from 2015-2021 before being released. He has reportedly dropped 25 pounds and was impressive in a recent workout with the team.
La'el Collins went to the medical tent during practice on Thursday.
Fantasy Impact
It is not clear what the specific injury was that Collins suffered. There should be an update on his status when available.
La'el Collins (knee) passed a physical on Monday. He is ready to sign a new contract.
Fantasy Impact
It remains to be seen which team will ultimately land Collins, but he's expected to have plenty of suitors given what feels like a constant need for offensive line reinforcements. The 30-year-old tore his ACL and MCL last season and was released from the Bengals' PUP list earlier this month.
According to Field Yates of ESPN, OT La'el Collins is being released by the Cincinnati Bengals; he was on their physically unable to perform list.
Fantasy Impact
Collins' time in Cincinnati was a disaster. After three straight seasons of 70-plus-point offensive grades from PFF, including an 86.4 season in 2019 and two 89-point run-blocking seasons in 2019 and 2021, Collins had a grade of 57.9 in 2022. Collins started 15 games for the Bengals and was released after just one season. Given his history, he will likely find another chance, but injuries seem to be hampering his performance.
