The Colts waived Collins on Tuesday.

EDGE Analysis

Collins elevated to the 53-man roster Saturday but was quickly subjected to waivers since the Colts signed Geneo Grissom to shore up the defensive line. If Collins clears waivers, he'll likely return to the Colts' practice squad.

Collins was promoted to the Colts' 53-man roster Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Collins joined the Colts' practice squad in mid-November as he was suspended for the first 10 games of the season. The 25-year-old has been suspended four times since being drafted during the second round in 2015, and has been a free agent since being released by Atlanta late in 2017. Collins receives a chance on an NFL roster for Week 17, though he is unlikely to play a significant defensive role with a playoff berth on the line.

Collins was signed to the Colts' practice squad Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

The LSU product has played 24 games in the NFL, registering 48 tackles (45 solo) and two interceptions. Collins has already served a 10-game suspension he received in April, so he can be added to the 53-man roster at any point.

Collins has been suspended for the first 10 games of the 2018 season, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

It isn't clear why Collins is being suspended, but it's worth noting that he's already been suspended three times for violating the league's drug policy. The 2015 second-rounder is currently a free agent.

Collins was officially reinstated by the NFL on Monday after completing a four-game suspension.

EDGE Analysis

Collins opened the season on the Falcons' reserve/suspended list while he served a 10-game ban for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, only to be waived by Atlanta shortly after the suspension lapsed in November. The 24-year-old was unable to find work before receiving another four-game suspension from the league in December for an undisclosed reason. While Collins is now eligible to sign anywhere and play next season, it's unclear if teams believe he's worth the trouble.

Collins was handed a four-game suspension from the NFL for an undisclosed violation, a source informed Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Shortly after Collins completed his 10-game suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drug policy, the Falcons parted ways with the 24-year-old cornerback, who had previously been suspended four games in 2016 for the same reason. It's unclear if this latest transgression is related to PEDs, but it at least helps explain why no teams have seriously pursued signing Collins since he was released by Atlanta. If Collins can avoid further NFL discipline during the offseason, he could end up resurfacing somewhere in the league in 2018.

The Falcons waived Collins (suspension) on Tuesday, Will McFadden of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins completed his 10-game suspension for violating the league's performance-enhancing drug policy following Monday's win over the Seahawks, but it appears the Falcons weren't eager to welcome the third-year cornerback back into the fold. The 24-year-old, a second-round pick of the Falcons in 2015, flashed plenty of talent in the Falcons' run to the Super Bowl last season, but off-field transgressions have hindered his development. Based on his pedigree alone, it's expected that Collins will generate plenty of interest from other teams upon hitting the waiver wire.

Collins is scheduled to meet with Falcons head coach Dan Quinn on Tuesday, at which point it will be determined if the team will reinstate the cornerback from his 10-game suspension, Kelsey Conway of the Falcons' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins' suspension for violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy concluded following the Falcons' 34-31 win over the Seahawks on Monday. The 2015 second-round pick hasn't been able to practice with the team while he's been on suspension, so because of his time away from the field, there's no guarantee he'll be added back to the 53-man roster in advance of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers. If Collins is activated, he would likely serve in a reserve role in the secondary.

Head coach Dan Quinn indicated Saturday that Collins (suspension) is likely to see less time on the field during the team's next exhibition game, Vaughn McClure of ESPN reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins played 31 snaps on defense and four on special teams during the Falcons' preseason opening loss to the Dolphins. He will be suspended the first 10 games of the regular season after violating the NFL's performance-enhancing drugs policy, so the Falcons likely want to get others involved who will be playing right away. Although Collins started opposite Robert Alford in February's Superbowl, Quinn stated that e remains undecided about the 2015 second-round pick's future on the 53-man roster. The team is taking it on a "week-to-week basis."

Collins (suspension) is expected to play in the preseason, Vaughn McClure of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

This news comes one day after learning of Collins' 10-game ban for PEDs. The preseason exposure could be good for the 24-year-old, but he'll still likely have close to no impact from a defensive standpoint this season given his suspension.
