Collins made four tackles (one solo) and returned an interception 52 yards for a touchdown in the Giants' Week 17 win over Indianapolis.

EDGE Analysis

New York led 14-3 in the second quarter when Collins picked off Nick Foles and darted 52 yards down the sideline for his second career touchdown. The veteran's previous pick-six came in his second year as a pro, back in 2016 during his first stint with the Giants. Though his role isn't as large now as it was back then, Collins has shown that he still has some gas left in the tank, totaling eight tackles -- including one sack -- and Sunday's big INT-TD over the past two weeks.

The Giants are signing Collins to the 53-man roster Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins had already been promoted to the active roster three times, so he had to be signed in order to appear for action with New York again this season. He played 47 percent of defensive snaps Week 15 and could be in line for another notable workload Saturday in Minnesota.

Collins was elevated off the practice squad Saturday.

EDGE Analysis

Collins has now been activated for three games this season, but he has been able to record only a single tackle over the previous two contests. Collins could see playing time at both linebacker and safety, as the Giants are very thin at both positions.

Collins reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was elevated to the active roster for a second straight game, but after seeing 21 defensive snaps in Week 7, the veteran safety saw just seven snaps in Week 8. The 2015 second-round pick is now eligible for only one more elevation before he'll need to be signed to the active roster.

EDGE Analysis

Collins gets the bump to the active roster for a second straight week. The veteran safety recorded one tackle across 21 defensive snaps during the team's Week 7 win over Jacksonville and figures to see a similar role in Week 8.

Collins reverted to the Giants' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

EDGE Analysis

Collins was activated ahead of Sunday's game against the Jaguars for the first time since joining the Giants' practice squad ahead of Week 4. The 28-year-old logged one tackle while playing 23 defensive snaps alongside Dane Belton, as the two operated as New York's backup safeties behind Julian Love and Xavier McKinney in Week 7. Collins could continue to help fill in if Jason Pinnock (ankle) remains sidelined against the Seahawks on Sunday, Oct. 30.

Collins was elevated from the Giants' practice squad to the active roster on Saturday, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins signed with the Giants' practice squad Oct. 6 and will be set for his season debut. Stapleton further detailed Collins' role, which is expected to play in a hybrid linebacker/safety role in the box.

The Giants are expected to elevate Collins from the practice squad to the 53-man roster ahead of Sunday's contest versus Jacksonville, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

New York signed the former All-Pro to the practice squad just over two weeks ago, and it appears that he'll see his first game action of the season in Week 7. Collins could be used as a sub-package linebacker Sunday, per Raanan. Collins was a strong IDP asset just a few years ago, but it's not yet clear how often he'll be on the field in his second stint with the Giants.

New York signed Collins to the practice squad Thursday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.comreports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins reunites with a familiar team, and the fact that he's traveling to London makes it seem likely that he's promoted to the active roster for Sunday's game against the Packers. The veteran is capable of contributing at both linebacker and safety.

Collins (foot) was released without an injury designation Wednesday, Zach Selby of the Commanders' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

Collins, who is designated as a post-June 1 cut, will enter free agency at full health after having missed the last three games of the 2021 season due to a foot injury. The 28-year-old's release saves Washington roughly $6.5 million in cap space. After transitioning to a hybrid linebacker/safety role last season, Collins will now need to seek out an opportunity with another franchise.
