The Browns placed Collins (quadriceps) on the injured reserve Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was carted off the field in the third quarter of last Sunday's loss to the 49ers with a severe hip injury. The defensive tackle requires season-ending surgery, so the move to injured reserve is no surprise. Shelby Harris is the likely starter at defensive tackle opposite Mason Graham for the rest of the 2025 campaign.

Collins' quadriceps injury will require season-ending surgery, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins was carted off the field after sustaining a quadriceps injury in the third quarter Sunday's loss to the 49ers, and he's now set to miss the remainder of the season. The 30-year-old was having one of the best seasons of his career through 12 games, recording 25 total tackles, including 6.5 sacks, and one fumble recovery. While he's sidelined for the rest of 2025, expect Shelby Harris to start on Cleveland's defensive line.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Collins suffered a quad injury during Cleveland's loss to the 49ers on Saturday, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins is set to undergo imaging on his quad after being carted off in the third quarter of Sunday's matchup. If the 30-year-old is forced to miss any games, Shelby Harris should fill in as one of the team's starting defensive tackles.

Collins (oblique) is active for Sunday's clash against the Ravens.
EDGE Analysis
Collins popped up on the injury report as a limited practice participant Friday due to an oblique injury, but the issue appears to be mild. The veteran defensive tackle will be able to extend a games-played streak that stretches back to the 2023 campaign. Collins has contributed 4.0 sacks among his 19 tackles this season.

Collins (oblique) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Ravens, Daniel Oyefusi of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
According to Scott Petrak of the Elyria Chronicle-Telegram, Collins had an issue with his oblique during Friday's practice, putting his status for Sunday's divisional contest in question. The veteran defensive lineman has appeared in nine games this season, recording 19 total tackles over 356 defensive snaps. If he's sidelined in Week 11, expect Shelby Harris to operate as one of Cleveland's top interior defensive linemen.

Collins had 2.0 sacks in Sunday's 21-17 loss to the Vikings in Week 5.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has a history as a disruptor from the interior of the defensive line, and nothing has changed in his first season with the Browns. He's up to 3.5 sacks through five contests and threatens the career-high 5.0 sacks recorded each of the last two seasons.

Collins is expected to start at defensive tackle in Sunday's season opener against the Bengals, Dan Labbe of the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Collins has provided pressure from interior defensive lines for nine seasons -- Cleveland will be the fifth stop on his NFL journey. He's had 5.0 sacks each of the last two years and should benefit from the attention given to Myles Garrett. If he starts, Collins is expected to pair with 2025 first-round draft pick Mason Graham on the interior of defensive line. The duo spent some time training together in Houston (Tex.) during the offseason. Collins is likely to hold down the starting job at least until Mike Hall (knee) returns or perhaps longer. Hall practiced Thursday for the first time since being carted off the file in Week 18 last season and has been ruled out Sunday.

Collins signed a two-year, $20 million deal with the Browns on Wednesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Following a one-year stint in San Francisco, Collins has found a new home in Cleveland. The Nebraska product started all 17 games for the 49ers in 2024, logging 33 total tackles, including 5.0 sacks, while playing 688 defensive snaps. The nine-year veteran is expected to start alongside Dalvin Tomlinson, strengthening the Browns' interior defensive line.
